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.
Brooklyn Social can be fun, Santa. And Clover Club has excellent drinks and the space is pretty beautiful.
Otherwise I agree that the restaurants are far better.
I just tried Char No. 4 this past weekend….WOW!!!!!
Speak for yourself, Biff. Please don’t make any reservations on the phone with a Canadian accent or there’ll be trouble.
im not really a fan of smith street bars. Some good restaurants tho.
“geekly” and grammatically challenged bloggers, that is.
Ok, I’ll make sure I talk to the manager there and warn him that he’ll have a bunch of geekly bloggers in there in a month.
Floyd sounds fine. I don’t think we’ll find a larger place on Smith or Court.
Speaking of bars on Smith Street, any suggestions on a venue for the next drinkup, scheduled for March 19? So far, we’re planning on doing it at Floyd NY on Atlantic, but wouldn’t mind having other suggestions/backup.
There’s no Los Paisanos Meat Market on Cortelyou so I’ll never go there. Not that I would anyway when Smith St. is closer!!!!
Smith Street is great….a very vibrant and bustling commercial strip, in a beautiful neighborhood.
I don’t understand that hate for it, Pete…?
It’s one of the most thriving retail/restaurant and bar strips in Brooklyn. I’m over there at least once a week.
