Open and Shut

Williamsburg/Greenpoint
Eater takes us on a tour of Betto, the new 60-seat, small-plate restaurant on North 8th Street in Williamsburg. It should have opened this week; has anybody stopped by? Free Williamsburg spots a new vintage store, Antoinette, open at 119 Grand Street. The Brooklyn Paper covers the shuttering of Greenpoint club CoCo66, where the owner had allegedly been selling alcohol without a license for more than a week. The NYPD dumped nearly $8,000 worth of liquor down the drain. And The Whiskey Brooklyn team has opened a small whiskey-only liquor store, called the Whiskey Shop, at 44 Berry Street, says Grub Street.

Fort Greene
Fort Greene fave Greene Grape Provisions is opening a very small coffee shop called Greene Grape Annex on Fulton Street (pictured) across from Provisions, says Grub Street. The shop will serve Blue Bottle Coffee and prepared foods from the grocery store. The Local also tells us Greenlight Bookstore is moving its buying, shipping and receiving, and bookkeeping offices next door. It’ll be sharing space with the soon-to-be Greene Grape Annex.
