Miracle Grill Replacement Revealed!

We’re off for the holiday today but this one couldn’t wait: Over the weekend a reader sent in a photo of the signage that just went up at the old Miracle Grill space at 504 3rd Street in Park Slope. As you may recall, there was some speculation last year that Chipotle would step into the breach when the upscale Mexican spot closed but that rumor was eventually debunked. A burger chain called Cheeburger Cheeburger appears to be the lucky winner. Hot or not?

“The woman was walking along the street in the financial district in Chicago with her husband and she had the most beautiful, all white hair pulled back. She must have been into her 60s or older and it looked really spectacular.”
That’s what my friend has, and it does look spectacular!
Donatella, I’m so sorry. Yes, that is really scary.
One thing I wonder about: I never had the impression that Bishop Loughlin is a ghetto school. I was really surprised that the shooting had anything to do with the basketball game.
The only time I can ever remember complementing a woman on her hair was about 25 years ago in Chicago. The woman was walking along the street in the financial district in Chicago with her husband and she had the most beautiful, all white hair pulled back. She must have been into her 60s or older and it looked really spectacular.
denton, I see women in my neighborhood who look younger than me (to me anyway) and have long greying hair, and I think it looks great! I happen to have a real white streak coming in, and I’m curious to see how it looks!! I also know a woman who was blond when she was younger and the grey came in so slowly and beautifully, that you hardly noticed it was happening. And now she’s all white (almost 80), and looks fantastic. I won’t get that, but I refuse to try to HIDE it completely. Tint it and work with it so it looks natural, yes. And then when I’m 60 or 70 I can let it go white and be ok with it.
“The thing that irritated me most, while I was defending my decision, was that the guy asked me what my husband would think!!!”
cobble, we’ve been thru this situation a coupla times. I think prematurely grey hair is sexy for a coupla reasons. But any number of people take it as a personal affront, not only hairdressers. And it’s also tough professionally.
Some women would come up to Mrs. D tho and thank her for having the balls.
No I am not at work; I was hoping that we would have an OT today because I was feeling pretty bent out of shape about that shooting because a) it happened b) it is one block from me c) I almost was there since I last minute changed my mind about going out d) nobody seems to give much of a crap, including the news media.
I talked to a neighbor, my friend and high school principal who said it didn’t surprise her one bit and looked into my eyes and asked me just why was I upset. I thought that was almost more upsetting than the event, that nobody seems to think much of it, just the way it is these days.
The facts are that some teenagers had a fight after a basketball game held at Bishop Laughlin. One kid supposedly got beat up pretty badly and a retaliatory drive by shooting into a crowd of innocent (?) teenagers spilling out into the street post game resulted in 5 people wounded. Even if you are not the teenagers, or their parents (can you IMAGINE sending your kid to a basketball game at a Catholic highschool to get shot? For nothing. )
So I am thinking, what’s going on here? It is the really sickening issue of gun violence but also what is happening with the grownups here, the authorities — the school supervising these things and the NYPD. If this is a ghetto school why not do what they do in ghetto schools where the level of civilization is so low that no spectators are allowed at games? Why not have a police presence? What about the people in the neighborhood? This was a shooting into a crowd. Some people said well they weren’t shooting to kill, that they were aiming low (all injuries to legs and feet). Well, that’s reassuring. My God.
I was talking to somebody else in the neighborhood, an guy who has owned a building for 20 years who said that this is a safe neighborhood — those were kids from other nighborhoods. Not ours. There’s Cartesian logic for you. Jeez…. Just for the record, there was another drive by shooting in March of last year on Clinton and Greene, one block away, where a young person was shot and a 70 year old man passing by was shot.
I hereby testify to being shocked, frightened, outraged and very very sad. Holy fucking moly.
Bravo to DCB’s 11.38 AM post. Well stated.
Right, but Susan Sarandon prolly pays MEGA bucks to a great colorist! You know what I mean, I just don’t want to look like that old lady with a bad dye job!!
Keep quiet, DIBS!!

Should I be trying to look 30 when I’m pushing 50?
I was going to say something but my manners kept me from doing so,
