StreetLevel: More Bread, Brawn on 5th Avenue
A couple new 5th Avenue businesses are about to satisfy the demands of Slopers who’ve been longing for a one-stop shop to carbo-load and work out. The corner space on 6th Street is going to be a branch of Brooklyn Bread, the Carroll Gardens bakery on Court Street and 2nd Place. And the space right…
A couple new 5th Avenue businesses are about to satisfy the demands of Slopers who’ve been longing for a one-stop shop to carbo-load and work out. The corner space on 6th Street is going to be a branch of Brooklyn Bread, the Carroll Gardens bakery on Court Street and 2nd Place. And the space right next door is being turned into an outpost of Fitness Together, a gym with hundreds of franchises across the U.S. (Their only other NYC location, however, is in Cobble Hill.) Fitness Together emphasizes personal training, and the 5th Avenue space is being carved up to include three private studios. The gym is scheduled to open sometime next month, and the bakery should be cooking by late December or early January. GMAP
Wow, one Carroll Garden’s bakery and one Cobble Hill Fitness Center! Who knows maybe Park Slope will be the new Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens someday.
Brooklyn Bread, the rudest service in Carroll Gardens. And I’m fairly certain the owner is in deep with the mob because if he’s not beaten up, the windows have been smashed in.
As an owner of a commercial building on 5th between 5th and 6th I remember how the area looked back in 1992 when I first bought the place. The transformation is nothing less then amazing. Now when I visit the building I actually hang out in the area instead of rushing back home.
I also agree with 2:39. although the condo’s on 4th don’t look as nice, they would definitly add traffic to the strip.
“You can thank, in part, the condos going up on 4th Ave for this further development on 5th.”
None of those are even finished or occupied. I don’t think anticipation is the driver, but the people that are ALREADY here.
I have a feeling that these businesses are catering more to the 2-3 million dollar homeowners from 5th avenue to Prospect Park West, than they are the new, not yet moved in owners at Novo or Crest.
I welcome them all, but just sayin…
Mr. Joist. You can thank, in part, the condos going up on 4th Ave for this further development on 5th. Anticipation of a lot of new-spending folks with needs for amenities.
People rant endlessly that the condos don’t look nice and yet they will probably end up doing a lot to improve the neighborhood.
And no, I’m not associated in any way with any of those new dwellings.
LOVE getfreshnyc.
stopped by on sunday and picked up the chicken breasts (delicious) and the beet salad.
i am impressed.
the space has a really terrific vibe as well.
i’m loving all this new stuff.
5th avenue is my favorite shoppping strip i think in all of nyc.
Hurray for bread! Looking forward to that.
Haven’t tried GetFresh yet, but it’s on my short list.
Amazing stuff. This part of 5th Ave continues to amaze me … so many new places in just the last few months.
Anyone check out the new prepared food place “GetFresh” on 5th and 5th yet?
