Future of Bodegas & Liquors Thrown Into Question
We’ve gotten a number of emails from folks wondering about the fate of Bodegas in Clinton Hill and Liquors in Fort Greene, both of which have been shuttered for the past couple of weeks.

We’ve gotten a number of emails from folks wondering about the fate of Bodegas in Clinton Hill and Liquors in Fort Greene, both of which have been shuttered for the past couple of weeks. We hear, but cannot confirm, that the owners have run into some financial troubles and that both will be closing. We hope for their sakes and for those in the neighborhood that this isn’t true. Also, what does this mean for Lewis & Ruby’s?
Doctor’s Cave is on Marcy corner by the Boy’s High School and is run by a Jamaican women and her English husband.
The food is all hand cooked from all organic ingredients.
Another voice from the Fulton Street neck of the woods that says we ABSOLUTELY would support quality establishments on Fulton…. and, Bodegas was mediocore at best, which is why we didn’t support it much. It’s going to take one really good restaurant (and I don’t necessarily mean expensive, just delivering good quality, nice vibe, decent service) or wonderful food store to light the fire on a strip that’s been way overdue on decent commercial development (and I don’t mean Starbucks).
I think we should band together as a group, get the lease for the location Bodegas was in, and put in a high end gourmet grocery there. It would be sorta like the Park Slope food co-op without us all having to work there.
Will we support good things when they happen in our neighborhood, or will we have to take the initiative and make change happen on our own?
it wasn’t A bodega, it was called “bodegas” and was restaurant…
where on Marcy is Doctor’s Cave & what kind of food do they have? I love the name.
Come on!!!!! People get raped and kiledl around 5th avenue in Mahnattan, are you blind not to see the potential of Fulton? is the main commercial street of that side of the hood and there is only one good store “Olivino” isn’t this neighboorhood thirsty of good stuff or should we keep spending our money at garden of eden.. whole foods …. in the city??? give me some goody and I rather spend my money here than elsewhere.
I don’t know if Bodegas is in a good location. The new Subway take-out across the street opened under new management and was robbed in the same weekend.
whats the big deal about one bodega closing we got to many of them in the hood anyway.
Agree 100% with the earlier poster. Build it and they will come. Locanda Vini e Olii, Olea, Ici, Luz (for example) are first rate places that do well and deserve to. Brunch at Olea is only marginally more expensive than Bodegas, but infinitely better.
