Dumbo
One Girl Cookies is expanding from Boerum Hill and opening in Dumbo, reports Crains. It will occupy 1,434 square feet of One Main Street, next to Bubby’s (pictured). The owner feels that the shop will “fill a void in DUMBO,” but as the Crain’s article points out, it will have some stiff competition with Jacques Torres and Almondine. How do you think One Girl will fare? Also, Grub Street shares the exciting news that Wild Rise Pizza will occupy the “dodgy little bar in Dumbo on the corner of Jay and Water Streets loosely named 68 Jay” Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights.
