Streetlevel: Bar Olivino Opens

actually, green planet has some good produce – not a ton of selection, but most things you need for a salad.

Another business that will hopefully inject life into that desolate stretch of Fulton. Hurrah! I’ll be sure to do my bit and drop in for a glass or two.

And now (returning with a vengeance to a pet peeve) for a decent grocery store located within a stone’s throw that sells fresh produce and doesn’t smell of day-old ass. Any enterprising souls out there listening? (voice trailing off folornly)…any at all?

It’s true. Given the droves of people exiting the subway at Clinton/Washington these days, businesses like a decent bagel place would do really well on this stretch. Good luck to Bar Olivino.

I am very happy to see this has opened. as a long-time resident of the neighborhood I’ve been wondering why nothing of this sort has opened on Fulton St. before. A friend of mine thought it might have to do with the number of churches on Fulton and the difficulty of getting a liquor license nearby houses of worship. that makes sense to me. what doesn’t make sense is why this stretch of Fulton St. (Classon to Clinton) doesn’t have a more varied business base.

I like eating Island food, shopping at bodegas, fast-food chinese as much as anyone else but why aren’t there more options? If someone wanted to open a few more nice sit-down restaurants and nice neighborhoody bars I’m sure they would make a killing.
