New Mexican for Greenpoint
It won’t be open in time for today’s Cinco de Mayo festivities, but Vamos Al Tequila is getting ready to open at 162 Franklin Street on May 9. NYS snapped some photos of the place, and while the menu isn’t finalized yet, they’ll definitely be serving up enchiladas.
Another Lunch Option for Carroll Gardens
“Starting this Monday, Abilene at 442 Court Street at the corner of 3rd Place will be serving lunch on week-days. They will be opening at noon instead of 5pm. How perfect for those of us who work from home and need a little lunch break,” writes Pardon Me For Asking.
What Will Become of Brown Betty?
Clinton Hill Blog mourns the loss of Brown Betty Cafe and claims that its old space at 466 Grand Avenue will soon be home to a creperie. However, commenter bree writes, “Sorry but looks like the former Brown Betty space is a barbershop called the grooming lounge.” Anybody know what’s going on here?
thanks dirty. on it. i miss bonita. and, i haven’t even tried to go to egg recently because of the crowds, so this could be a good alternative.
Also, the former egg chef just opened his new spot in the old black betty space and some former bonita guys just opened a mexican spot on s4th and berry.

Bree on the Clinton Hill Blog is incorrect. The barber shop is a former woodworking shop that was adjacent to Brown Betty. Brown Betty is going to be a creperie. I’m looking forward to it. I liked Cynthia at Brown Betty, but the hours were inconsistent, and though the food was pretty good, it was sometimes inconsistent as well. It’s such a small space, a creperie with good coffee would do well I’d think.
