The owner of Choice Greene, the Clinton Hill grocery store and sandwich shop at 214 Greene Avenue, is transforming the space into a seafood restaurant. There will be a raw bar with oysters, crab rolls, lobster, charcuterie and fancy cheeses, salads, sandwiches and a full bar, according to new neighborhood blog Fort Greene Focus. The space will seat 49 inside and 20 in the backyard, which will sport a wall-mounted herb garden.
Community Board 2 voted in favor of supporting the restaurant’s liquor license application Monday night. Sister businesses include nearby Dough and Choice Market, which will handle all the cooking since 214 Greene lacks adequate ventilation. No word yet on when they plan to open. Above, the shop in February. Are you excited for this?

Thank god. There are only about fifteen new American restaurants within a ten block radius.
Thank goodness! Choice Greene was way too overpriced. All I could justified spending $$ on there was the coffee and the occasional baguette. I hope the pricing of the new restaurant will be a little more reasonable–
IS there another restaurant opening right next door too?
according to the nice dude that works at choice greene on weekend mornings – yeah – “new american” restaurant – “nice owners”
Aaaand it looks like Roberta’s is coming to town. Minus the pizza, maybe.

There was ventilation added on top of the building last week – but i think it’s probably for the retail space next door (the former tat place) – which will also be a restaurant.
