Cortelyou Road the New Smith Street?
Marty didn’t just talk about juggling tenants in Downtown Brooklyn in his State of the Borough speech last week. As noted by the Ditmas Park Blog, the Beep also called attention to the thriving restaurant scene on Cortelyou Road: “[Gary and Allison Jonas’] Farm-on-Adderly, Pomme de Terre, and Sycamore have turned the Cortelyou road area…
Marty didn’t just talk about juggling tenants in Downtown Brooklyn in his State of the Borough speech last week. As noted by the Ditmas Park Blog, the Beep also called attention to the thriving restaurant scene on Cortelyou Road: “[Gary and Allison Jonas’] Farm-on-Adderly, Pomme de Terre, and Sycamore have turned the Cortelyou road area into the new Smith Street,” he said. A commenter points out that Picket Fence actually opened first.
You can buy me a drink on your b’day, B O’Dicks since it was I and a few others who gave you the idea for your login.
March 19th is Bowl of Dicks birthday!
(And, I too tried Char 4 for the first time recently. W-O-W!)
taq482…LOL… that’s my main reason not to get a car in bed Stuy…I can park practically anytime right in front of my house but if I drive anywhere else it becomes a hassle!!!!!!
We lived in a rental on Bergen & Smith for 5 yrs. We moved out the same day Starbucks opened 🙁 I love Smith St as a destination but didn’t like living there. We bought a house in Ditmas Park and drive over the Smith St for shopping, restaurants, Los Pisanos, Chop Shop, Dashing Diva etc. Cortelyou Road will never be like Smith St, it’s only a few blocks long. Only so much can happen in that limited space. I’d love a Starbucks & a better butcher! In the meantime I’m thrilled to have a driveway so when I head over to Smith St I only have to worry about parking on one end of the trip 🙂
I should totally move to Ditmas Park, everytime I’m in the area I get enchanted. The Q seems to get put on hiatus a lot though.
We definitely can’t go to Clover Club. From their website, their motto is emblazoned on the front page…
“Who enters here leaves care behind,
leaves sorrow behind, leaves petty
envies and jealousies behind.”
That last bit might be difficult with this crowd!!!!!
Biff, I’d stick with Floyd.
Brooklyn Social is small and can be crowded, and Clover Club is more of a treat…the drinks are pricey.
Floyd is a nice medium ground.
Has anyone ever been to Diety? I’m so curious about that place. It’s some kinda nightclub I think on Atlantic.
11217, would you suggest Clover Club or Brooklyn Social over Floyd for a Brownstoner gathering?
“And, no Molson!!!!!”
Obviously someone can’t handle strong beer…
And, no Molson!!!!!
