Mamary: Crown Heights, Greenpoint Ripe for the Picking
Jim Mamary, Smith Street’s OG restaurateur, said at yesterday’s Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable that the two Brooklyn neighborhoods he’s maybe possibly thinking about opening restaurants in are Crown Heights and Greenpoint.

Jim Mamary, Smith Street’s OG restaurateur, said at yesterday’s Brooklyn Real Estate Roundtable that the two Brooklyn neighborhoods he’s maybe possibly thinking about opening restaurants in are Crown Heights and Greenpoint. When the Times profiled Mamary and his partner Alan Harding last year, Mamary mentioned that he thought Crown Heights looked promising but didn’t talk about Greenpoint. Mamary also said yesterday that a typical 50-seat restaurant build-out for him costs around $250,000.

Mamary ventures in Crown Heights would be the breast thing to happen there in a while, he should milk the opportunity now before competitors come nippling at his heels.
Mounds of support for old mamary!
I think that Crown Heights would be the best bet… You have low competition and a area with a rather large population…
I’m really glad to see Mamary getting some solid support here.
It would be nice to see a decent sit down eatery implanted on my stretch of Nostrand.
Thanks to Brownstoner for keeping us abreast of the situation.
MM, I think it’d happen on Franklin sooner than Nostrand. Nostrand is still too much of a stretch for the type of restaurant that he typically opens.
Jim Mamary and Alan Harding…no wonder they are partners.
what an unfortunate last name
*rob*
maybe possibly thinking about? Huh?
