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?

This is exactly what Bed-Stuy needs.
My blog covers topics such as this. Gentryornot.blogspot.com
Enjoy!
George Bush makes ignorant comments on an every day basis and I see very few people asking him to substantiate squat.
You’re a moron, 4:36.
“to the ignorant bigot that started off this post. will you be kind enough to elaborate why you believe olivino will fail in bedstuy. this site needs to do a better job at limiting people from making ignorant comments unless the are able to substantiate or defend their comments.”
personally i find your comment suggesting to limit the powers of freedom of speech FAR more ignorant that the first poster.
and to be clear, there was not any hint of bigotry in that comment. you’d have to read into it to have gotten that, which clearly you did. which makes you doubly ignorant.
Is the new shop also called Olivino? What are the hours?
4:41. Right on target. Bed Stuy bloggers should support the store en masse.
Please stop engaging the first poster! Do you really care what he/she thinks? Why on earth invite them to elaborate? Instead just respond with your dollars and support this new business.
