Looks like we were right: A fast food restaurant is indeed trying to take over the former Gage & Tollner space at 374 Fulton Street on the Fulton Mall in Downtown Brooklyn. The Daily News today reports that the chain known for its roast beef sandwiches submitted an application to the Landmarks Preservation Commission in January to modify the historic interior. We’re keeping everything in place, and anything we move in will be nonpermanent and easy to move out, said Raymond Chera, the franchisee behind the project. It will probably be the most beautiful Arby’s ever. And you better get used to the idea of being surrounded by Arby’s: Chera says he plans to open 41 locations around the city over the next decade.

Brooklyn (and Fulton Street) is big enough for chains AND small specialty shops. Both have been successful here. Personally, I never eat at Arby’s, but I can see it working here.
I didn’t make it Snark. A friend called and we ended up going to Ghenet again actually. Delicious.
I’m going to try to get down to the Ramen Place this weekend…I’ll keep you posted…
I’ve been hearing some good things though…
Hey 11217, since we’re talking food here… Did you make it to that new ramen joint on 4th Ave?
Arbys is exactly what you get. More nasty overprocessed unreal food.
So many people raised hell about Amy Ruth’s being put in that spot. A place which COOKS real food and not heated up processed food from a micro wave.
I think the problem is that if Amy Ruths was put in that spot, spot it would have given the nasty steak house over at the Marriott some competition.
Brooklyn is getting to be such a turn off…….
Taco Bell – You mean the place where years ago the woman ate a burrito from there with a sack of roach eggs and they then hatched inside her…?
Yeah, I’ll turn up my nose to that.
11217 – please speak for yourself – Per Se may have been the best meal I ever ate – but I for one never turn up my nose at Fast Food – except Burger King – as far as I’m concerned = horrible
My biggest gripe is that there are virtually no Taco Bells in NYC and please – Roys Fried Chicken (also very hard to come by except on the Turnpike) is about the best Fried Chicken you can get for almost 1000 miles.
MAT – did your “friend” also have a brother who died from pop-rocks or woke up with spiders all over his face after chewing Bubble Yum?
-please stop spreading B.S. urban legends
Please don’t read any sort of racist remark into this because it’s not meant to be such, but people reading this blog really aren’t by and large Arby’s target audience I would think.
Just like many of don’t probably shop regularly at Fulton Mall (yet it’s wildly successful and thriving!) Arby’s will probably be a total hit too. Nothing wrong with that.
The world doesn’t revolve around the readers of Brownstoner.
I know. I’m shocked too.
i bet none of 11217’s friends eat fast food either.
