Streetlevel: Trout Re-opening Today
Trout, the casual Smith Street staple, closed last November. Only, in retrospect, it didn’t close so much as take the winter off. Time Out New York reports that the “poor man’s Gowanus Yacht Club” is re-emerging from hibernation today (something this photo we snapped last night supports) with a similar menu and a different backer….
Trout, the casual Smith Street staple, closed last November. Only, in retrospect, it didn’t close so much as take the winter off. Time Out New York reports that the “poor man’s Gowanus Yacht Club” is re-emerging from hibernation today (something this photo we snapped last night supports) with a similar menu and a different backer. Instead of Jim Mamary writing the checks, his partner in PLG’s Whiskey Sunday, Richard Krause, is where the buck stops (and starts) now at Trout. Nice weather for opening day! GMAP
Gravy was good. I miss that place, and their chedder-red-skinned-smashed-potatoes.
Big Trout sucked.
Trout was called a “poor man’s Gowanus Yacht Club”? That’s perfect.
Other than having an outdoor seating area, I don’t see the appeal.
Oh yeah, I do miss Wisconsin sometimes…
trout is good. yall are fuckin babies. “waah we need more ultra-modern and clean Asian fusion places on Smith St. waah i wish Brooklyn looked more like Milwaukee its so old and dirty here waah i miss my friends in Milwaukee waah”
the food is frighteningly bad.
mmm, now I’m thinking of langoustines, my fave shellfish.
I’ve never eaten here, but every time I walk by with my daughter she sees the giant lobbster painted on the wall and jumps up and down yelling, “Daddy! Langosta! Langosta!”. Glad to see they’re reopening. Maybe now we can eat there sometime.
petebklyn is DEAD ON
great place to sit and watch the rats run by your feet.
I walked this place last week. It needs a good hosing down. It’s filthy outside.
