What isn't going up on Vanderbilt?
Seriously how many new store fronts are being worked on? I have kind of lost count.
I know the City bakery outpost is going in near milk bar and I saw another bar being worked on near Branded. Does anyone have any new info?

The Australian restaurant is being worked on (near Nick's barber shop). There is also a site two doors down from Pequena, but I have no idea what it will be. I think the only yuppie amenity lacking on Vanderbilt is a Thai restaurant.
-
Most of the bodegas have now gone upscale, and turned into places that sell fresh produce.
Only one classic yellow awning bodega is left.
-
...and they lost their lease and are moving.

Picked up this book Whynot!

A Freestore isn't going up

I do not expect any Dollar Stores either.

and a little closer to home http://brooklynheightsblog.com/archives/31237 (good store BTW)
-
Yes, I heard it and then had it confirmed by one of the guys behind the counter.
-
Sunburnt Calf? Thoughts? Vanderbilt impossibly becoming even more of a white, cowboy hipster trend town.
-
just curious as to why pena's closing is such terrible news. we could use a good bodega, but it's pretty dirty in there and doesn't have particularly good hours. i also heard that they had enough money to buy the building if they wanted, but that they opted to move their shop to clinton hill instead.
-
in my experience, the guys who work at pena's are always nice and their prices are good. i think they're open til 11 pm which is fairly late.
-
Shame about Pena. Those guys are so nice. I buy the basics from them. Beer and TP.
Sunburnt Calf has another location on upper westside

not sure what to make of it. Don't want to judge it before it opens but seems like something that will be popular once the stadium crowds appear.thoughts?
-
Food looks pretty good, actually. Plus, the main drink special will definitely appeal to the drunks amongst us (of which there are many). I doubt we'll have to wait for the arena for this place to succeed.
-
Sunburnt cow/calf/bondi road are all good.
Its not a hipster hangout though, its an aussie bar. Pretty decent food too even though I'd consider it more of a watering hole/college bar.

Did anyone notice the allstate insurance store front next to brooklyn pizza factory on Vanderbilt was vacated? that along with the forest floor space leaves two prime spots open.

I looked at that spot a few days ago and concluded that a medium to high-end, kitchen accessory store would be profitable there.
-
I agree, whynot. I would shop at such a place, especially if they sharpened knives.
-
Things that are not, not going up on Vanderbilt...an artisanal mayo shop. I'm calling the top.

-
For the first time in recent Brooklynian history, I am speechless.
Maybe chefs will shop there?
Maybe it will be gone as fast as the frozen yogurt place that was closed on weekends?
-
Ha, artisanal mayo.
Im convinced that yogurt shop was a money laundering front for the korean mafia. -
This was a response on the voice article:
"Hey guys - I get why it sounds a bit frivolous. You're going to understand when you see how TINY this place is! It's really only big enough for one thing! Hahah.. Seriously though, we are excited to come to the neighborhood. We wanted a kitchen we could call our own where we could do wild flavor science and pack orders without the hassle of moving from rental kitchen to rental kitchen. In the front will be a small retail space for customers to taste and buy. Should be fun. We are excited."
Who cares. Make some mayo!

I. Love. Mayo.
Seriously - yummmmmmm. -
As a mustard person, I demand equal time from Vanderbilt.

White people problems:
Someone stole my pony
My GPS took me through the ghetto
Rolling over my 401k is so annoying
My coop board won't let me install a dish washer
People are giving me grief about opening up an artisanal mayonnaise shop
Howdy, Stranger!
