Closing Time on 5th Avenue

Over the past few days several businesses on 5th Avenue in the Slope have announced that they’re calling it quits. It doesn’t appear that rent hikes are the sole cause of the pileup of shutterings, though they may have contributed to a couple of these closings:
Biscuit BBQ: The restaurant, which relocated from Flatbush Ave., took the place of the former Night & Day diner on President Street. No word on why the restaurant has decided to close. Will the back room jazz venue live on?
Nancy Nancy: The card/knick-knack store has been open for nearly 10 years. According to the shop’s blog, the landlord pulled the lease, but NN’s stuff will still be on sale at NancyNancy.com.
Cocotte: The French restaurant, which opened in 2002, in saying goodbye because of “rising rent and an inability to make a go of it financially,” according to Gowanus Lounge.
Hollywood Video: The large video rental store closed last weekend. The chain movie-rental biz is in the process of closing hundreds of stores nationwide. With the vacated Eckerd space only a block away, that means there’s two pretty large retail locations now available on 5th.
someone should open a chicken and waffles place where biscuit bit it.

What a waste of 4400 square feet.
Can’t wait to see something worthwhile in there.
Maybe a grocery store that doesn’t smell like dead bodies?
Let’s not mince words about Bisuits. It’s one of if not the worst bbq place in a city that is suddenly teeming with good BBQ places. It’s well worth it to take the trip to the Smoke Joint, for example, in Fort Green over the crap they tried to pass off at Biscuit. And the atmosphere was pretty bad too.
hollywood video BLEW. good riddance to them and the incompetent crew who worked there…
Save Biscuit!!!!!
The only time Biscuit BBQ received any press was now that it’s closing.
If someone hadn’t mentioned it, I would never know it had left.
Ciao.
Yeah, the pinkness is from smoking–but Biscuit fucked up all the time by OVERCOOKING their food. I had a couple orders of dried out ribs there and that was IT for me. That chef should be busted down to busboy.
They do have some nice shit there…I will check it out this week!
Flight001 is having a huge sale right now.
Bought some great shit there this past weekend.
30% off.
