    While I have some sources who may be able to find out details beforehand, the next big update on whether they will successfully take over the space presently occupied by Shane's (798 Washington) will occur on June 3rd.

    That is when the CB8 Committee on alcohol permits meets.

    I met Ron, who is running Mrs. Dorsey's Kitchen, a few months ago at a beer event. He'd mentioned looking to open in the area. For what it's worth, his food was pretty great.

    Are "long time reader first time poster" things popular here?

    Saw this thread through a friend, I'm sure Mrs. Dorsey's Kitchen isn't looking at Shane's space, but rather potentially looking at a spot next door, community board and other things pending. I'd know more but the two guys running the show are busy at work at Madison Square Eats and I haven't seen my neighbor all month!

    Definitely looking forward though!

    This makes sense in that Shanes would have been a huge grilled cheese place, and I do believe the location next door is vacant.

    Welcome ronjohnjunion,

    From your profile, http://brooklynian.com/forum/profile/ronjohnjunior , I assume you may be in the know about this place.

    Are they/you taking over Shane's?

    I think it might be moving in to the space next to Shane's. The shut down postal place.

  • whynot_31

    The postal place is still open and is located a few store front away (to the right of Ginos, just out of the below picture).

    However, the sign/printing (orange awning) place is vacant.

    Also, the soon to be vacant, soon to be former, location of Gino's Pizza could also be an option.

    It has a kitchen, with venting....

    Folks willing to endure a community meeting to figure out which storefront this will be located in, could attend the CB8 SLA mtg on June 3rd.

    The former printing place in the photo had a sign in the window yesterday that made it clear it will be where Mrs Dorsey's is located - some sort of legal notice (I didn't stop to read through) that had the name of the business on it in bold letters.

    794 Washington!

    The owners presented at the SLA Committee on June 3rd. They have done mostly smallish venues in other locations, such as Dekalb Market.

    He'd like to be open until 2 AM, and serve food, along with beer and wine.

    This is a small venue, which is being professionally designed.

    This place seems like it will be yummy.

    whynot: did you go to the SLA meeting tonight? There were a bunch of cliffhangers due to be presented tonight, right?

    Does the SLA make any on-the-spot decisions like the CB does?

    Any chance of a rundown thread?

    Bullets would be acceptable.

  • whynot_31

    I have updated the threads that were discussed.

    No cliffhangers were resolved.

    This evening, 7/24/2013, I saw the proprietors in the aforementioned 794 Washington, former printing place.

    They were designing the space.

    Build out will begin soon.

    Hey Whynot_31 "Former" Lurker...Come by and say hello, next time, LOL. We are residence of the neighborhood, and friendly people (mostly because we're from the Midwest, ha!).

    I spent my college years in Dayton, OH, so I do not fear your midwest ways.

    I'll say hi the next time I see you guys. On the street, I can often been spotted as a result of having my dog with me. He is my avatar.

    ronjohnjunior-

    Do you have an estimate as to when you'll be able to open?

    Nov 1, 2013?

    Has the landlord told you his plans for the space next door, the former site of Ginos?

    Awesome...I grew up between Cleveland and Toledo, OH! Then moved to Michigan...and graduated from the Great University of Michigan '06.

    If all works out perfectly (knock on wood) we should be open by September. Its not that big of a space, just need to get it restaurant ready.

    No details on the old Gino's spot.

    I may have passed you Whynot_31...I have a golden pitt-mix. He's my business card, LOL the dog walking community is looking forward to MDK. (If you know anyone interested in adopting this little bugger let me know, he's 11 months, and licks everything)

    As of Aug 15, the beer and wine lic is now in pending status:

    Note: Both storefronts jabbered about above are known as 794 Washington to the NYS SLA, which contributed to the brief confusion.

    Sept 7:

    Demolition of the interior space has occurred, and brick walls have been exposed.

    Due to the small size of the space, construction might not take long.

    I hope "our" grilled cheese place is going to be as good this one that is about to open in Park Slope:

    Oct 12:

    Construction is well underway. A new concrete floor is presently being created, and it looks like they are doing some venting work.

    This place might open by Dec 1.

    Construction seemed to not happen in Nov,Dec, Jan and Feb, but is now happening once again.

    This little grilled cheese place is taking a while to build out, and they haven't yet requested a kitchen inspection from DOH.

    Just put a grill outside and make some sandwiches.  Give 'em out for free.  Nice publicity eh?

    We first learned of the grilled cheese people's intentions in May 2013.

    Hopefully they will open their approximately 350 sq ft store by May 2014.

    That is a lot rent to pay without income.
