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?

Hope it fares better than Gage & Tollner. The food there was very good, the service was great (wait staff had been there forever) but the place was empty at dinner. Don’t know how it did at lunch Forget exactly when Gage & Tollner closed (early 90s I think), but Fulton St. clientele was primarily black back then too.
I’ve seen white people on Fulton Street. Personally.
Wait… Bed Stuy is a black neighborhood?
yeah, what a missed opportunity, it’s not like the fulton mall area is at all popular with black folks …
It probably would have been smarter to open this in a black neighborhood. Bedford-Stuyvesant desperately needs destination restaurants.
Soul food?
Maybe this will draw white folks to Fulton Street. Soul food is tres au courant.
Another location in the city for chicken and waffles? Heaven!
Amy Ruth’s within walking distance? Are you kidding? It will be FANTASTIC! When I lived on the South Side of Chicago, I was a regular at Gladys’ Luncheonette.
Finally I can get good chicken and waffles in Brooklyn? I can’t wait!
