Open and Shut

Park Slope
Zito’s Sandwich Shop has opened, says FIPS. They say the food is “all kinds of delicious.” And Here’s Park Slope writes that Sai Thai Kitchen is opening in the space previously occupied by Fatoosh, at 237 Fifth Avenue. A jewelry store is planned for the old Slope Sports space at 70 7th Avenue, and the Goorin Brothers Hat Shop has opened at 195 5th Avenue. HPS says of the fancy hat store: “The store has been crowded with curious shoppers since they opened, and when I dropped by yesterday afternoon it was full of locals checking out the neighborhood’s newest store, its first hat shop in decades.” The picture of the interior is courtesy of HPS.

Williamsburg/Bushwick
T Magazine profiles Mary Meyer, a retail space and design studio at 56 Bogart Street in Bushwick. T calls it “the sartorial equivalent of Roberta’s.” Grub Street takes a look inside whisky bar Noorman’s Kil, which we first told you about here. The menu, posted by Grub Street, is full of tasty-looking grilled cheese sandwiches. Free Williamsburg writes up Waffle & Wolf, a sweet and savory waffle joint at 413 Graham Avenue. And finally, Kings County Distillery is saying farewell to its home in Bushwick and moving to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. At the Navy Yard it will occupy 7,000-square-feet of space and produce 10 times as much whiskey.

Elsewhere
Bed Stuy Patch checks out the kinda organic supermarket at 1142 Bedford Avenue. There’s a new massage studio in Dumbo. In Sheepshead Bay, Family Dollar is replacing the longtime discount store Dee Dee at 3710 Nostrand Avenue. And at the Columbia Street Waterfront, the empty storefront at 214 Columbia Street will someday be a diner called Ricky’s.
