Open and Shut

Williamsburg/Greenpoint
Much-hyped La Esquina recently opened its back area at 225 Wythe Avenue. On Yelp there are some mixed reviews for the joint. Have you been? Vanessa’s Dumplings is coming to 310 Bedford Avenue and a no-name bike shop closed at 163 North 7th, according to Here’s Williamsburg. Over in Greenpoint, the blog Here’s Greenpoint notices that Italian joint Divine Follie is up for rent and a new vintage retail shop, Ana Chronos is open. Eater also reports that Japanese restaurant Coco is closed in the Burg and Schmook’s Greenpoint NY Pizza has shuttered in Greenpoint.

Park Slope
From Here’s Park Slope: Glow Accessories will soon open on 7th at the old Slope Sports space, Bubblez Toys and Gifts is open on 5th, Filfila Falafel is open on 9th and Five Guys gets signage on Flatbush.
