New Grocery and Coffee Shop To Open on Underhill

goods-on-underhill-1009.jpg
There's a new food shop opening in Prospect Heights and it sounds very nice based on the description and graphics in the window and on the website. The name of the new storefront at 115 Underhill Avenue is Goods, and what they say they'll be offering is "Grocery, Coffee, Food & Drink." Sounds like something in the vein of Choice Greene or the front of Marlow & Sons. Big plus for the nabe! GMAP

Not that it matters, but this is not on the Prospect Heights/Crown Heights border--where ever that is. GMAP indicates that this is on Underhill at Prospect Place which is solidly Prospect Heights.

Yeah, that is definitely Prospect Heights. I'd say Washington Avenue and beyond is where the line starts to get blurred. I feel bad for the grocery operator who recently purchased the business on the corner and did a nice job with the renovation and general upgrade of products. Not super highend stuff, but nice.

I'm sure Sammy (corner store operator) will be alright. There's a lot more demand for food, groceries, restaurants etc. in Prospect Heights than there is supply.

And yes-- Mr. B seems unsure at times of the Prospect Heights boundaries.

Flatbush-to-Washington and Eastern Pkwy-to-Atlantic with border zones existing on those streets between Park Slope, the Park itself, Crown Heights and Ratnerville.

Just to respond to 'shoots and leaves', and 'havelc', we love Underhill Food Corp. (on the corner of prospect and underhill), have been regularly communicating with its operators, and are on good terms. We are very different businesses and look forward to working in conjunction with them, not in opposition.

We look forward to opening shop and would love any suggestions at info@goodsnyc.com

See you soon!

The neighborhood's quietly blowing up in the food and drink area. Some good foodie openings just in the past six months: Sit and Wonder, The Vanderbilt, Milk Bar. Can't wait for this new place! I'm hoping it won't be just another cafe, but that it'll have some good take-out dinner options, too. This is such a working family neighborhood--that is, most of the people who live here work during the day and there are tons of working families--you just don't see all the stay-at-home parents or alternative work-hours kind of people around here during the day like you do in a lot of other neighborhoods. It's pretty quiet during the weekdays. But come dinner-time, there's a flood of people coming off the trains, coming back home, hungry! I hope this will become a go-to place for some good, real food!
