Well, crepes are small so it all seems to fit. Joking aside, when I walked by the building over the weekend by internal voice said, “food court for LIU students.”
I tried the crepe place last week… quite good, actually. Nice what they’ve done with such a miniscule space, too. A pretty unique offering for this area, I hope it sticks around.
There is groundfloor retail coming to Rockwell, and one would hope the vacant spaces in the Applebees building will be something good, like a midscale restaurant or a GAP
I am pretty sure that Forte sold to BAM for their archives.
I think these stores will get a ton of business, not only from residents but from the steady stream of Brooklyn Tech & LIU students, as well as Brooklyn Hospital, Verizon, and SSI employees nearby. Does anyone know if Forte sold their ground floor space yet? I thought they had (from BAM, maybe?) but don’t see any work happening (although lots of construction materials).
Those spaces were not capable of being combined.
I was surprised something along the lines of the Gourmet Garage store didn’t think of setting up shop in those spaces. I would imagine the whole ground floor might be big enough. Do we really need a bagel place, a pastry place and now another place to eat a hamburger?
I’m sure a decent, small, even gourmet supermarket in that building would get incredible business.
Oh, well.
Smashburger had an interview table out front a couple days ago so it shouldn’t be too long.
