New Restaurant/Bar for Fulton Street
Some kind of restaurant and/or bar is currently under construction at 946 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill. Word first popped up in a comment thread last week and we’ve had a handful of readers write in about it. We saw a rather stylish gentleman dismounting from a single-gear bicycle and entering the space this morning,…
Some kind of restaurant and/or bar is currently under construction at 946 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill. Word first popped up in a comment thread last week and we’ve had a handful of readers write in about it. We saw a rather stylish gentleman dismounting from a single-gear bicycle and entering the space this morning, a sign perhaps of an equally stylish establishment? Fulton sure could use it! Anyone know any details? GMAP
That sounds awesome brokestone. And anyplace serving a good cassoulet on a chilly day would be great…
Joloff gets more face-lifts than Cher.
I’m hoping this place is being started by the guy who used to work at L’acajou, my favorite hang in Manhattan for many years. He supposedly has been looking on Fulton for a location to open up a new place although I was expecting it to be down a block or so near the Funeral home. It was a traditional French food local hangout/old school NY bar with a great atmosphere. I’m not sure if that is what type of food they are going for here, but if it has any bit of the vibe of the place he used to work at, all will be happy.
And to be honest I would love a decent hearty Cassoulet this winter as opposed to just a Maffe all the time…but I’m probably wrong.
I’m not sure what kind of food. I meant to ask the guy who was smashing bricks out of the back wall with a sledgehammer but I forgot.
I think the guy who said “Nigerian” is probably going to be correct though, since it’s his one and only post ever at Brownstoner. He’s in the know.
My neighbor told me Joloff was getting gutted today — knowing the owner, I’d just assume its more renovation. Anybody know?
I hope it is not French-African as well. I love Kush, it is really good, but let’s have something different. There’s already Senegalese at Joloff too. A little variety would be great.
Since there already is an awesome French-African place (Kush) on Putnam and Fulton, I vote for something different. I remember when I was having dinner in the then Liquors looking at what was to be Loulou’s. The waiter was evidently opening Loulou’s and when he told me that I said “I hope it is anything but French.” He, somewhat flustered, told me it would Be “Breton” and fish-oriented, not the French I was used to in the neighborhood.
Lothar- what kind of food?
pls not Nigerian. Or Senegalese. Or anything French-African. If African, Ethiopian would be nice.
YES – BIGGIE lived next door to where i lived. but i lived there 10 years after his death… 2007-2009. though i had the luck with living thru the filming of Notorious. [never saw the movie] – now i live above one of the main pipelines in the city – and between a gas station and a row of middle-income hasidic families. i love brooklyn.
Anyone notice that alot of oldtimers in the CH/BS area refer to Clinton Hill as “Clinton Hills” ???
I was told that it would be a Nigerian restaurant.
