Now that the “drabness” of Montague St. has been exposed to all of NYC and beyond, and the community spilled its woes in this blog’s comments section in such spirited style that another blog directed its readers to it, let us look forward to less drabness with these soon-to-come offerings in the new year.
Olive + Garden Deli at 141 Montague St., formerly home to b.good, is expected to open by January/February according to Montague BID. A google search turned up no other info, but the name suggests a take out deli, if not all-you-can-eat salad and bread sticks.
Mad for Chicken at 80 Montague St., previously occupied by Teresa’s. At last estimate, the Korean fried chicken franchise with its menu that’s not just chicken will open by start of the new year.
BK Lobster at 142 Montague, where Ani Sushi used to be, with lobster rolls called “The Bed-Stuy Biggie” and “The Crown Heights Fried Lobster.” Check out the entire menu here and support this #blackownedbusiness.
Felice at 84 Montague St., the former Heights Cafe space. A sample of their expected menu:
L’Appartement 4F, a French bakery born out of pandemic baking in a Cobble Hill apartment, has been in the works since summer. The latest update on their Instagram:
Din Soup Dumplings at 162 Montague St. above Lichee Nut and formerly Nanatori. Check out Claude’s post for efforts to unearth any details other than it’ll serve soup dumplings and a link to a lesson on how to eat said soup dumplings.
Also, from Montague BID: “We’d love your feedback about some of the points the writer and everyone interviewed brings up [in this article]. E-mail us at hellomontaguebid@gmail.com and let us know your thoughts.”
UPDATE: Pinto Brooklyn is no more at 128 Montague St. and is now Brooklyn Farm. The executive chef is the same Yo Teerawong Nanthavatsiri who was the chef at Pinto. Brooklyn Farm’s website and social media are not live yet, but Chef Yo made this announcement on his personal IG:
