Streetlevel: Another Cafe for Fort Greene
According to the gentlemen sweeping up the sidewalk, the new tenant taking the retail space at 184 Dekalb Avenue is a cafe. Seems to us that there are quite a few of those within shouting distance of this location. Think there’s room for one more? GMAP

every time I drive through Baltimore its raining or really cloudy.
its also too close to DC for me to enjoy myself.
For those not from Baltimore, please note that it is a very complicated place! Don’t bet that you could go there, buy a block and strike gold!
There are some brownstones there that surpass those in Brooklyn. It was a rich and “successful” city and set out large lots for large houses in certain places…very grand homes. British visitors in the first half of the 1800’s noted they preferred Baltimore to any other US city.
Other than that, I was just saying to the other half last night that we could use a kaffehaus in FG, a real one, and over near us, more Lafayette/Fulton-ish. Marquet just doesn’t answer…maybe that insurance agency on Fulton would make a great corner cafe…
Maybe next lifetime, but there are plenty of younger people who visit Brownstoner who might have the energy to do this.

Baltimore (and Philadelphia) have their charms and are certainly cheaper than Brooklyn but they are a little provincial (you’ll find most of the people there grew up there) and lack the economic base and diversity of NYC.
You pays your money, makes your choice.
Baltimore is the next Brooklyn, hands down!!!! Best place on the east coast for low priced in tact brownstones, a great harbor and wonderful seafood and they have easy access to NFL and MLB stadiums and John Hopkins. Take your 3mm there and buy a block, your kids will love you and your grandkids will mention your names.
Is Baltimore a pit? I’ve never been.
Almost everyone in my building (on DeKalb) has a car. I certainly don’t drive to work, but it’s a luxury I’m not willing to give up. Anyway, it’s a small car and I get over 30 mpg. Take that Al Gore!
There’s definitely room for more restaurants–the more concentration of options, the better the restaurant row. Dekalb just keeps getting better. Rock on.
i’m hungry.
yeah, it’s a little slice of hampden in baltimore.
