Streetlevel: Olivino Part Deux Opens in Bed Stuy
Two years after opening her flagship location of Olivino Wines at 905 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, Katrine Pollari (along with her dog Olive) has launched a second location, this time on Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bedford Stuyvesant. “The idea was to situate ourselves in proximity to businesses we admire close by on Lewis Avenue,…
Two years after opening her flagship location of Olivino Wines at 905 Fulton Street in Clinton Hill, Katrine Pollari (along with her dog Olive) has launched a second location, this time on Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bedford Stuyvesant. “The idea was to situate ourselves in proximity to businesses we admire close by on Lewis Avenue, and be well positioned between both the local Kingston/Throop C station and the express A Utica stop,” said Pollari. With the new buying power, Olivino plans to step up its offering of organic and sustainable vintages. The eastward move isn’t all business either—Pollari plans on finding an apartment near the new shop soon. Did anyone stop in this weekend?

Oh 7:28, you are so sad!
You have never been to my neighborhood, which is obvious from your post.
All of us from outside that cesspool called Park Slope laugh at your attempts to justify your supposed superiority.
Once the overdevelopment of 4th Avenue consumes your neighborhood, you will wish you lived in a livable location like Bedford or Stuyvesant Heights.
I’ll take nail salons over triple wide baby carriages with fat lazy 10 year olds any day.
And I don’t need chaperones a la Park Slope Food Co-Op to follow me home to ensure I don’t steal a cart. (Or do they help you find you way back home because you are too stupid to do it yourself?)
Btw: congratulations on overpaying for a neighborhood that is so played out that people move from there in order to live some where nicer.
This thread is awesome. It’s really entertaining to someone who doesn’t live in either nabe, or even Brooklyn for that matter!
Girls, girls, you’re BOTH pretty!
LOL. good one, 6:22.
Now that you have one wine shop, now all the sudden BED STUY is more civilized than Park Slope?!!
And nicer? You need to read the police blotter a little more often. You will be hard pressed to find a less “nice” neighborhood.
Good one.
I’d rather have real estate offices and children’s clothing instead of 10 nail salons and the rest boarded up abanonded buildings any day of the week.
I used to go to Park Slope for various services but I stopped when the neighborhood became a wasteland filled with real estate storefronts and stores catering to children’s clothes.
Obviously, Olive made a wise choice and chose a nicer, more civilized area in which to make a difference.
I haven’t been to Park Slope in probably three years. I take that back, I have gone to Al di la a couple of times. So, no, not EVERYONE goes ther to shop, sorry.
No it’s the name for where yo’ mama gets busy.
Is Bed Stuy in Queens?
Who said BS was rosy and bucolic? Or Sesame Street? You haters just can’t stand the thought that people are happy with their choices of homes and neighborhoods. Sad.
New businesses are coming to the hood everyday. Guess they think it’s not so bad, and more importantly, they may make some money in a neighborhood that is eager to stay home and spend some money at home.
There is no direct train service to the Slope from BS, making a 15 minute drive an hour long experience on public transportation. Maybe people’s time is more important to them than worrying about what some jerk thinks about their driving habits.
Welcome Olivino!
