StreetLevel: Peaches Market Opens in Bed-Stuy

The folks who run House By We sent us a gushing review of Peaches Market, the Southern-tinged restaurant that opened last Friday on the corner of Lewis and MacDonough: “The crowd was lively and the atmosphere cozy and welcoming. Food was fabulous: the warm black-eyed pea salad was scrumptious, clam strips were delectable and the blackened tilapia—fresh and light…and all very reasonably priced.” Yelpers are similarly smitten. Anyone else check it out? Peaches comes c/o the people behind Fort Greene’s Smoke Joint (which, coincidentally, is today’s Restaurant of the Day) and Little Piggy.

Wow, I’d love to but I’ll be away from this sunday through August 9th. Have a good time, and I’ll definitely take a rain check.
Cool idea, Dave. Let’s all figure out a day/time.
Sorry MM just wasn’t sure where in CH you were and thought maybe you knew that stretch of Atlantic. God forbid I insinuate that you were some sort of bar fly. I have been to Augie’s Brownstone Inn just down from Marcus Garvey on Fulton…nice quiet crowd.
Ibis…yes, I’m on Stuyvesant bet. Halsey & Macon…lets go there next week Maybe housebywe, susan, MacD and bedstuyhoya can all get together
Sorry, our block association is Halsey between Stuyvesant and Marcus Garvey. If you live on our blocks, come to the meeting! We will also distribute a survey in the next few weeks.
I posted about the future pizza place at the corner of Halsey and Lewis… Just what Dave said, the owner was at our block meeting recently (he lives on the block), and he said it would take about 6 motnhs before they open. We recently resuscitated the block association for Halsey between Lewis and Marcus Garvey, so if anyone wants to join, please come to our next meeting, we will meet every month on the third tuesday at the Macon library.
I’m glad to hear that Peaches is so good, it seems like a major improvement compared to Petit Bassam. I’ve had some good food at Bassam but the place was not consistent. Being francophone I enjoyed talking to them, and I’ll miss them.
Dave, you seem to live just around the corner from us and I’ve been learning a lot from your posts… We should meet for a drink sometime.
Thanks, Dave, would love to take you up on that. You are a character, and I admire your defense of Bed Stuy in its entirety.
But….(hands on hips) what makes you think I am familiar with a seedy bar on Atlantic Ave????? Well, I never! Besides, it’s a little far away from me. I’d rather dip into my Appleton’s overproof Jamaican rum.
I’m looking forward to visiting this establishment. Good luck with the real estate, and come on over to Crown Heights anytime!
I love that Dave is able to answer all the questions. Seriously. Thanks, Dave.
Not vegan. Level 5 vegetarian. Nothing that had a mother. Or nothing with a face. I switch it around from time to time so I don’t get bored.
I echo everyone’s comments about the greatness of peaches. fantastic addition to the ‘hood.
Hopefully they will put pressure on Solomon’s porch to shape up their act. Some of the live music acts are great, but the food and particularly the service completely suck!
Dave, what ever happened to that placed called Stizzy’s that was supposed to open up? Is that your place as well?
