MacDonough Cafe opened on the dividing line of Bed Stuy and Ocean Hill Tuesday, in a space that had been empty for years. The menu at 83 Saratoga Avenue includes light fare such as avocado toast, pasta, and cheese and fruit plates.
The space had been under renovation for more than a year, and before that was shuttered for about a decade.
It joins a handful of other recent newcomers within a few blocks of Saratoga Park in East Bed Stuy, such as Butch & CoCo and Grandchamps. It will be open from 7 to 6, the owner told us.

This is Bed-Stuy. NOBODY calls the neighborhood Ocean Hill. Around these parts, you’re either in Bushwick, Brownsville, or the Stuy. And to answer blueline’s question above, Saratoga doesn’t feel like a boundary unlike nearby Broadway or Atlantic which are clear neighborhood lines.
out of curiosity does Saratoga feel like a boundary street between two distinct neighborhoods? not familiar with that street.
