We’ve eaten at Roberta’s, the popular pizza place on Moore Street in Bushwick, several times, but it’s always been at night so we’ve failed to notice the number of businesses that have sprung up around the corner. When we stopped by on Saturday afternoon, however, we were blown away by how vibrant the scene was–and how populous the former remote factory district felt. Granted, we also felt all 41 of our years as we walked around taking photos but what’re you gonna do. Above, we’ve included photos of Roberta’s itself, which planted its flag in early 2008, as well as a handful of retail shops that have sprung up around the corner on Bogart Street: Big Tree Bottles (wine), Olive Valley (Middle Eastern restaurant), the Archive Cafe, and Brooklyn’s Natural food store.
No offense to the old folks on the board, but Brooklyn Natural Foods has been there since long before Robertas planted the flag. I should know, I made curfew back then.
haha I actually brought my 70+ year old aunt over there. id actually never been during the day or sober so I didn’t remember what the area was like. she enjoyed it though.
there is in fact a curfew and you were violating
if you wanna feel old go to Tandem around midnight on the weekend. I even felt old, and I’m younger than 30.
Myself and some friends in our forties and fifties were in Bushwick one night and were all wondering if there was a six oclock curfew for people over 30.
Check out Momo Sushi Shack. Just around the corner on 43 Bogart St. Look REAL hard, it’s curb presence is VERY discreet. So worth it though. Outstanding food, ambience and experience. http://www.momosushishack.com/
minard, the ‘small island’ this is the big island LOL
Yeah but if you take a wrong turn away from that cute little stretch of retail there, you’re basically back in industrial Bushwick again. Good pizza though.
That and the nearby McKibbin Lofts are really nice. Watched a presentation on them in my class yesterday.
too hip for words but it is great food for sure
amazing wine list
