Coming Soon: Morton’s Steakhouse
333-335 Adams Street, between Tillary and Willoughby Streets, Downtown Brooklyn
As previously reported, Morton’s Steakhouse is set to open in the Marriott on Adams Street. The The New York Observer posted the steakhouse’s most recent press release, along with this rendering of the exterior—which might be just garish enough to keep locals true to Peter Luger. (What’s up with those rainbow-colored rectangles? Could they be giant lights?)
Now Open: Hotel Delmano
82 Berry Street, near N. 9th Street, Williamsburg; 718-387-1945
Both Eater and Grub Street are raving about this new looker of a cocktail lounge, opened by the owners of Union Pool. (Note: It’s just a bar—it’s not a hotel.) The Grub Streeters are digging “mixologist Jeff Hanson’s $9 to $12 renditions of the Last Word, Corpse Reviver No. 2, the Hemingway Daiquiri, and the Seelbach Cocktail.” And Eater says “this is Brooklyn with the ante upped.”
A New Spot in the Uncommon Grounds Space
50 Henry Street at Cranberry Street in Brooklyn Heights
“Just this month it came back to life as The Wine Bar at 50 Henry Street. The space has had a complete makeover and a full bar has been installed along with a matching liquor license, impressive wine list and a chef formerly of Mario Batali’s Babbo behind the stove.” [The Brooklyn Paper]
After the jump: Brooklyn’s own Diner Journal expands and Windsor Terrace gets a new restaurant…
Local Restaurants Expand Culinary Quarterly
“Lots of restaurants send newsletters to their customers. But four Brooklyn restaurants — Diner, Marlow & Sons and the two Bonitas— have taken the concept further with a stylish quarterly, Diner Journal… The quarterly is $34 a year from Diner Journal, 81 Broadway, Brooklyn, N.Y. 11211, (718) 384-1441. Online at dinernyc.com it is $36. Single copies are $7.50.” [NY Times]
Coming Soon: Dice Cuisine
Prospect Park West at 17th Street in Windsor Terrace
A Chowhounder who goes by Hanky T discovers some new signage at a place opening up in his “restaurant-starved” neighborhood, but then discovered what was in store: “I just heard. It’s Thai. Dang. Snore.”
Can someone tell the person who drew the rendering that you can’t park cars on a bike path?
The manager of Amy Ruth’s told me they were going to (try to?) open on Valentine’s Day, the anniversary of the closing of Gage & Tollner.
any word of the retailers involved here/
there’s no such thing as kobe beef in the u.s.
it might be kobe style, but it’s not kobe.
****
The massive increase in popularity of Kobe beef in the United States has led to the creation of “Kobe-style” beef, taken from domestically-raised Wagyu crossbred with Angus cattle, in order to meet the demand. Farms in America and Britain have attempted to replicate the Kobe traditions, providing their Wagyu herds beer and daily massages. [2] U.S meat producers claim that any differences between their less expensive “Kobe-style” beef and true Kobe beef are largely cosmetic.[3]
After all beef imports into Japan were banned for four years due to the discovery of B.S.E., many retailers began to heavily market the U.S. raised beef as “Kobe-style”.
“Morton’s will cater more to out-of-towners than locals, I think.”
The place is next door to the largest hotel in Brooklyn. It will obviously attract more tourists than locals. Duh!
What exactly do you have against rainbow-colored rectangles?
Ha Beef is safer than seafood.
Last night I had the pleasure of eating at the Wine Bar at 50 Henry and was blown away with the Kobe Burgers:
Mini American Kobe Burgers topped with Vermont Cheddar and Beet Pickled Onions and accompanied by Fries -14
Fantastic and with a couple of brews, I was a happy man.
I defy anyone to try the Kobe’s and not come out perfectly satisfied.
I feel as a female wall streeter, you do not speak for everyone.
