Weird article. I can't really remember Columbia St. ever being hyped as "Brooklyn’s next hot retail destination." And while the street repairs do seem to be taking forever, the owners of Sugar Lounge (which seemed like an odd fit for that particular stretch of the street when it opened) were being awfully optimistic if they expected the park to be completed by now.

Anyway, as far as nighttime entertainment goes, I would expect the following area bars/restaurants to be open late-ish: Alma, Pit Stop, Sugar Lounge, B61, Lido, Mazat, Kotobuki, Teeda, and Moonshine on Columbia. Schnack and Bouillabaisse 126 on Union. Petite Crevette on Hicks.

It was a gut reno (+ extension) of a pretty plain brownstone -- so I'm not sure where the "Old World Charm" is supposed to come from.

It looks like they were using nice materials during the build, but those prices are a bit nutty (especially when you are just a few doors down from the BQE).

Brownstoner's exterior picture is correct.

I'm looking forward to the Air Yacht.

Of course they're dark -- the windows are boarded up. Nice skylight, though.
