Streetlevel: New Market for Bed Stuy
Butternut Market, at 366 Lewis Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant, will be a Provisions/Union Market/Chop Chop-like grocery store. “We will offer a variety of prepared foods..salads, veggies, meat & fish dishes. They will mostly be cold dishes to take home (there will be very limited seating) plus we will have a few hot dishes each day…
Butternut Market, at 366 Lewis Avenue in Bedford Stuyvesant, will be a Provisions/Union Market/Chop Chop-like grocery store. “We will offer a variety of prepared foods..salads, veggies, meat & fish dishes. They will mostly be cold dishes to take home (there will be very limited seating) plus we will have a few hot dishes each day (including rotisserie chickens).” That’s the news from this Brooklynian post, and the owners, including a Brownstoner regular and an owner former manager of Solomon’s Porch, will take your suggestions of what to stock. Apparently a renaissance is expected for this little corner of the world; word has it a wine bar and florist are coming soon, too. The owners hope to provide healthy alternatives to junk-stocked bodegas and offer residents another shopping venue; the Foodtown in Restoration Plaza is a heckuva walk.
Amzi…we will do crab cakes and they WILL be lump, not those other bad stringy things everyone makes!!!
Dave I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay and I miss good seafood. When you do get seafood please get crab.. It is so hard to find in NYC…
Congrats on this Dave, and best of luck to you.
Congrats Dave! It sounds wonderful!
Good luck Dave. Great food the other weekend at the street fair!
Next to a wine bar also, good timing.
That is becoming a really interesting corner of Bed Stuy.
Now all I have to do is find a house. Not so easy right now when nobody wants to sell. What happened/is happening with the space on the corner of Macon and Stuyvesant?
Hey Dave I am going to support… This place is needed in our area…
Yes, Susan…all of that. We are not likely to have fresh meat or fish at the outset but might eventually.
Congratulations, Dave. I’m not living there yet, but still working on it. It’s great to see the neighborhood expanding. I work from home and will be grateful for another lunch option. You will offer fresh uncooked produce as well as prepared foods. And other organic packaged foods like rice, bread, dairy, etc?
