Streetlevel: Amy Ruth's for Gage & Tollner Spot

A couple of days after we wondered out loud what was going on with the old Gage & Tollner space, it was reported that a new tenant had indeed been found. And now a sign in the window at 374 Fulton Street confirms it: Amy Ruth’s, a well-known Harlem restaurant, will be bringing its soul food to Downtown Brooklyn. The opening could come as soon as the end of the year. How do you think this’ll work?

Bed Stuy has destination restaurants,Brooks Valley,Le Toukeleur,Foulanie,Applebees,Petit Bassam,the restaurant/jazz club on Halsey and Stuyvesant( forgot the name).They should get some business on weekends from the Brooklyn Tabernacle members and during the week from the various businesses especially if they are smart and do delivery.
I just hope they serve some real motherf**ing iced tea!

G&T closed in 2004.
The hotel was there when G&T was there. It only closed in the early 2000’s, unless I’m mistaken. The problem is the area is dead at night. I hope Ruth’s does well.
Plus people have heard of Ruth’s….
This will most certainly be a destination restaurant…
Gage & Tollner was expensive and cabs could not reach it easily. Now the hotel is here (with more coming) and cabs are more familiar with downtown Brooklyn. The timing was just bad.
Ive made the trek up to Amy Ruths a few time for the chicken and waffles.
and im white
but from the south
also excited.
hee, yes let’s hope it fares better than a restaurant that was open for 125 years. 🙂
i know, i know …
I have heard that Bed Stuy used to be a black neighborhood. But that may be just an urban myth, seems so unlikely.
