Pickle Replaces Lobster
Chain restaurant Spicy Pickle will be opening soon in old Armando’s location. Workers put up a sign for the establishment this weekend. The new sign appears to be the same size, shape and dimension of the old Lobster with a bolder color scheme.

I hope we don’t turn into fast food row. Ugly sign.

Check out the nutritional info on their website. I couldn’t believe how high the sodium was but couldn’t understand why the calories were so low until I realized that the stats are per serving and there are 2.5 servings “per container.”
I’ve never seen the size of one of these sandwiches but I’m looking forward to getting 120% of my daily sodium intake during lunch……

It’s exactly the same sign with new panels and neon, hence the similarities. Much simpler to do it that way than try to replace the entire thing, which gets the DOB and LPC involved. All I can say aesthetics-wise is…gee, La Traviata now looks kinda classy.

Putting the issue of the sign aside–yet another chain- something on Montague?
That’s the street’s curse–let’s call it Sleepy’s Syndrome. Am I the only one who finds the most interesting shopping experience on Montague offered by the Housing Works?
Puts Design Within Reach (Ha! And have you noticed its stock consists of one chair, one lamp and one rug?) to shame!

Given the lunchtime business dwarfing everything else, this obviously is a perfect addition to Montague and its quest to become Brooklyn’s Mall of the Americas… One would think that the DOB/Landmarks, etc push this sort of crap towards the area that actually is trying to become a “better” mall - downtown Brooklyn??

Doesn’t signage on Montague have to be approved by Landmarks?
Poulenc, if you walked into DWR, you’d see that they have a great selection of items.

So thanks for saying….

On my way home from work, I have seen them conducting what appear to be al fresco interviews the last two evenings in a row.
