Streetlevel: Trout Re-opening Today

trout-opening-0409.jpg
Trout, the casual Smith Street staple, closed last November. Only, in retrospect, it didn't close so much as take the winter off. Time Out New York reports that the "poor man's Gowanus Yacht Club" is re-emerging from hibernation today (something this photo we snapped last night supports) with a similar menu and a different backer. Instead of Jim Mamary writing the checks, his partner in PLG's Whiskey Sunday, Richard Krause, is where the buck stops (and starts) now at Trout. Nice weather for opening day! GMAP

Great spot. I think I will have to make a Smith street stop this weekend to enjoy some outdoor cocktails and people watching.

The "poor man's Gowanus Yacht Club." Ha. Good one. Or the lazy man's. Hell if I'm gonna walk all the way down Smith when Trout's just right around the corner.

Exciting news! I've always been intrigued by this place...

I walked this place last week. It needs a good hosing down. It's filthy outside.

I've never eaten here, but every time I walk by with my daughter she sees the giant lobbster painted on the wall and jumps up and down yelling, "Daddy! Langosta! Langosta!". Glad to see they're reopening. Maybe now we can eat there sometime.

mmm, now I'm thinking of langoustines, my fave shellfish.

Oh yeah, I do miss Wisconsin sometimes...

Gravy was good. I miss that place, and their chedder-red-skinned-smashed-potatoes.
Big Trout sucked.
Trout was called a "poor man's Gowanus Yacht Club"? That's perfect.
Other than having an outdoor seating area, I don't see the appeal.
