BBQ Extinguished at Lookout Hill
Though it only opened in May, the BBQ joint Lookout Hill at 230 5th Avenue in Park Slope has turned off its smokers, according to a tipster. The space has seen quite a bit of turnover in the last few years, with Biscuit and Night and Day not lasting too long, either. Isn’t this supposed…
Though it only opened in May, the BBQ joint Lookout Hill at 230 5th Avenue in Park Slope has turned off its smokers, according to a tipster. The space has seen quite a bit of turnover in the last few years, with Biscuit and Night and Day not lasting too long, either. Isn’t this supposed to be restaurant row? N.B. See more coverage in today’s Food Round-Up and on Eater.
“If there are too many boutiques and too many restaurants, then what does Fifth Avenue need?”
A better bike shop. Those guys at R&A are first-class jerks. Also a pet specialty store (NOT Petco).
That really sucks! I liked this place the pulled meat by the pound were good. Plus an excellent choice of Bourbons. Too Bad!
Night&Day was terrible and so was Biscuit. Guess it is back to the Smoke Joint for BBQ.
I can tell you why they failed, they didn’t deliver. I would have ordered for football games if they delivered.
of course a location can be cursed – in the sense that…due to things like traffic patterns, visibility, layout, and tons of other intangible factors…it doesnt work for a restaurant, or whatever.
Many times this can be overcome with amazing food, redesign, luck or a change in the outside factors but sometimes not.
I dont think anyone is using the term ‘cursed; to indicate a mythical force preventing a restaurant from surviving – just that the location seems much more difficult than most to sustain a restaurant.
Or a shoe store 11217.
This would be a perfect spot for a gay bar…
😉
I don’t agree that a location can be “cursed”
Most said the same about the old Tempo Presto at 7th Avenue and 3rd Street and now Barrio is one of the most successful places in the neighborhood.
It has nothing to do with being cursed. It has to do with a quality operation and good food. This space has never had either, as far as I’m concerned.
How about a Asian Massage place – we need that!
5th doesn’t have too many restaurants, just too many of the same kind. if i see another bad sushi place open… (shaking fist)
2:26: I don’t know about a “dead zone” … that part of 5th Ave is very busy with the subway down the hill on 4th Ave. The location, however, is a bit cursed.
Anyway, their Bourbon menu will be sorely missed. Best Bourbon selection in Park Slope.
