I wish the landlord in the not unattractive pre-war apartment building on the corner of Marlborough and Cortelyou in Ditmas Park had rented his ground floor shop to the otherwise dreaded Dunkin Donuts… Instead, he opted for yet another low-end grocery/beer/24 hour eyesore (there are three on that block now…). Apparantly, he took less money for a longer lease. A Dunkin Donuts would be a blessing compared to this place.
“These chains come because the greedy landlords raise rents when leases up and only these chains can afford it and the landlords love them coz they DO pay the rent”
Right…. thats why there is nothing else in West Village, only fast food.
Becouse greedy landlords made it so expensive.
I just bought a video basket t-shirt from the brownstoner t-shirt guy. very funny.. Nothing could ever replace that store.

I totally welcome Blimpie/Nathan/(please let it be)Dunkin Donuts
Anyone have any idea about the mysterious empty white oval to the right of the 2 logos? Is this to leave their options open in case they want to make it Blimpies/Nathans/Starbucks or Blimpies/Nathans/Gourmet Garage?
In Williamsburg, there is also a Subway Restaurant moving into a space that formerly had an independant Indian restaurant on Bedford and I believe N. 4th. They just put the sign up for it yesterday, and it hasn’t opened yet.
This is the first time a large national chain is moving into Williamsburg. We Williamsburg residents have dreaded this day for years, and I anticipate a lot of controversy surrounding its opening.
Yes but who really cares. They will provide much needed jobs and pay nice rent to the owner. Good for them!
