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?

The folks in Bed Stuy are part of a $750 billion economy, so it would be green in many ways to open businesses there while the getting is good.
One good thing about all this Bed Stuy gentrification.
Sounds like the reason for all the traffic in Park Slope is from all you damn fringe neighborhood inhabitants coming down and buying all our wares.
Ever heard of the subway?
Good to know Park Slope is thought of in such a good light that judging from this thread, EVERYONE who lives in Bed Stuy shops in Park Slope.
I personally enjoy living and shopping in the same neighborhood, but that’s just me, I guess.
Way to live green, Bed Stuyers.
hallelujah
As a confirmed alcoholic of anglo french origin I am overjoyed that I will no longer have to drive to park slope to buy my weekly supplies.
Now we need a good bakery — there are some nice efforts being made but sill no great bread. Some good cheese and some decent vegatables. More power to Olivino
Bread Stuy around the corner bakes and Heavenly Crumbs and Shakoor’s all can be found on http://www.shopbedstuy.com. Please tell the owner of this new place to visit our site and become a member.
I think they might be all the same person.
It’s v. cool to love they neighborhood, but let’s not paint it as the rosy, bucolic urban setting you seem want us all to believe it is.
I wasn’t born yesterday and I’ve been to Bed Stuy many times recently.
way too many bed stuy boosters on this board.
Some of you Bed Stuy boosters should really consider forming your own PR agency.
The way you talk about it, you’d think it was Sesame Street.
Rumor has it Olive will, in fact, be camping out there. I certainly welcome this additional mushiness to the neighborhood.
Will Olive be there? I’d patronize any business that has Olive-she’s the cutest li’l pug in town.
11:06, and MG will continue to look like that unless businesses like this take a chance and settle in. Their success brings more business. That’s how Lewis Ave changed, as well as every other commercial street in Brownstone Brooklyn. The only way they can improve the area is for people to support them. I think they will do quite well, and I will patronize them, as well.
