It'll probably be a Bank of America. It's pathetic. I've lived in the nabe for 24 years and so many great local small business are being forced out by greedy landlords. In a few years, 5th and 7th Avenues will look like a big old mall. Applewares is closing too. The South Slope had so many cool places and they are turning over so quickly. I know the economny is bad, but if the rents were manageable, they might have been able to hold on. The only comment I will make is that some of the shops that open don't have a chance because they aren't unique and are overpriced. What Park Slope needs are a great Greek and Indian restaurant, a really good deli and clothing for normal sized women (Lee Lee's Valise on Court Street - come to Park Slope!!!)

I'm interested in all the comments about Luger's terse service. I have been there many times and every waiter has been polite, efficient and pleasant and in some cases, chatty. Come on guys - it's busy there. You don't expect the waiter to schmooze for an hour, do you? Besides, this is Brooklyn - we're direct, honest and to the point. Relax, have a great martini and a great steak and enjoy!
