Colonie, a seasonal restaurant with a wine bar, is coming to 127 Atlantic Avenue. The place has been covered by Brooklyn Heights Blog for its use of Kickstarter to raise money. (According to the Colonie Facebook page, the restaurant surpassed its fundraising goal of $10,000.) You can expect a focus on “local, seasonal American cuisine with a definite bias to all things gastronomically Brooklyn” and a wine list that will be “unique yet super approachable and affordable.” Opening date is set for December 1st.
I cant wait for this restaurant to open up! I’ve been dying for a neighborhood spot in BK Heights…it’s long over due!
As for the kickstarter approach? Awesome marketing tool. I have friends who’ve had major success with that site. It actually has less to do with funding your business and more to do with promoting your business. It’s smart and current. I checked out Colonie’s incentives and they look really good. They’re way past their goal of $10,000 so it’s pretty obvious that the neighborhood is just as excited as me. Best of luck!!!
What a bunch of haters you are! I for one am excited to have a decent option for dinner on this side of Atlantic Avenue. The choices we have now are fish & chips, falafel and pizza. I am excited to sit down in an appealing atmosphere and have a glass of wine with my dinner instead of carrying it home in a paper bag. I wish them all the luck in the world.
I live in Brooklyn Heights and am thrilled that there will finally be a decent neighborhood spot. I hate having to walk a good 20 minutes from my home to get a good meal.
As for the kickstarter approach, i think it’s smart. I have loads of business friends who have used it as a promotional ploy and it’s worked a charm. It’s nothing close to a business loan and shouldn’t even be compared.
Comonie’s kickstarter incentives look awesome and it seems they have a lot of folks who are excited to join them for dinner and drinks.
Best of luck!!
Have walked past this place…usually in route to another neighborhood to find a decent dining experience. Looks and sounds promising. Psyched for it to open!
Are they going to serve Mike’s Submarines and Neba Roast Beef Sanwiches? Or maybe Pig’s Dinner’s for desert.
Kickstarter has been stuck in my craw since it started, and this is one heck of a great example. Why should I give someone money so that they can start a business that will make *them* money, potentially a lot of it? It’s called a business loan. Try it. I’ll save my “disposable” income (if I have any) for people in need.
Looks interesting. Hope they open soon.
was just gonna say – i think i dated a guy from Colonie once….. many many many years ago.
sounds like named after some strip mall suburb of Albany.
