    Is anyone seeing any progress on this place?

    I haven't, and can't find anything on SLA.

    So, I am beginning to think this place is not going to open.

    Aw that would be such a bummer. I am in love with the man in the video above -- he seems so invested in and excited about his space.

    No activity at this place for the longest time and I seem to recall a sign and that is gone. I will guess that its not happening.  Also Some new place on Bergen in Sue Rocks old store.  "culture station" or something.  Fancy sign, never see it open. Dont pass by there much.

    The gates were up for a while this afternoon, with new "for rent" signs.  Looked in the windows - appears that they got maybe halfway through with renovations (fancy light fixtures installed, old bathrooms only partway ripped down).  Too bad.

    In other news on this corner, BK Scoops / KaffeJac is now a barber shop.  The real winner here is the guy who makes the awnings, as they get a new one here every six months or so.

    Indeed.

    BTW, I believe the owners of Exquisite own the entire building. They moved the restaurant to the back portion when they realized that they could rent out the front for good money.

    I believe they are attempting to find a new tenant on their own, as opposed to through a RE agent as a result of not finding any ads for the space online.

    A new tenant may have been found.    

    An entity Arman Sayed Corp has recently been incorporated using this address and has requested a kitchen inspection.   



    Note, this may simply be a change in ownership for Niahmah, which shares the same address because it is (according to some city agencies, one large building)

    Huh. The only thing my creepy googling was able to turn up is that the person who registered the corporation is named Abu Saeeyd, he has no other businesses to his name, and he lives on Underhill and Dean.

    Do bodega delis need kitchen inspection?

    I believe they do. However, the list I am using only includes restaurants:

    So, I believe Abu Saeeyd is going to operate a restaurant.

    Heads up, we now have an application for an alcohol permit:


     Brooklyn Brassierie, 710 Nostrand Avenue (corner of Prospect) – Full


    the SLA & Sidewalk Café Review Committee will meet on Monday, December 1, 2014 at 6:00 PM at CNR-Center Light Health Care Center, which is located at 727 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY (between Park and Prospect Places).

    @whynot_31 do you have a link to the actual alcohol permit application?

    Also, because I want to know everything about this, right now, wondering whether the extra "i" in brassierie is your typo or theirs.

    Imagine! A brassiere sales and fitting shop which also serves booze!

    @lilern - I cut and pasted from the CB8 mailing I received. It could be that one of their staff made the error.

    This place does sound wonderful.

    I hope to drop by tonight to see if the new proprietor shows up, and introduce myself.

    ....serving drinks to people while they watch women try on bras could work.   Sounds like something people might like.

    Update:   Above, we discussed Abu Saeeyd.   It seems he is in the process of reinventing Niahmah into "Curry Garden" https://www.grubhub.com/nyc/curry-garden/

    Hence, he is simply taking over an existing restaurant.

    Returning to the corner space: This will be a 2nd alcohol license by the owner Breukelen (the coffeeshop and cafe on Franklin near St. John's).

    At this additional location, he seeks to be open 7AM to 1 AM, 7 days a week. He'd like to open as early as Feb 2015.

    It would have a cafe/bistro menu, and serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    The committee voted to support the application.


    Nostrand, it sounds like you are getting upscale casual dining.   I think this place will stop short of full table service, but it sounds pretty close.

    This bar is one of several upscale places that is expected to on Nostrand by June 1:

    Hooray! I had heard that the man behind Breukelen was going to open up a spot on Nostrand. What a great space, what a great corner. So much potential. Hooray for our brasserie!

    I don't have much to add, i'm just really excited about this. Three cheers for sit-down dining! And actually, @whynot_31, given that this place will also be run by a restauranteur who already owns a business on Franklin you're right that my espresso-snob mystery man from the beauty world thread  may have been working for them rather than Two Saints.

    Liquor licence pending: http://www.trans.abc.state.ny.us/servlet/ApplicationServlet?pageName=com.ibm.nysla.data.publicquery.PublicQuerySuccessfulResultsPage&validated=true&serialNumber=1283346&licenseType=OP

    From a solid source, I hear that Brooklyn Brasserie will open in 6 weeks.

    That is good news.

    At the meeting I attended, the owner stated he planned to open before he rec'd his liquor license, because unlike some of the venues we are watching, this place will have a substansial food menu.

    He just filed for his alc lic on 1/5/2015, and I would be surprised if he gets it before April 1.

    Rachel has details and photos on this French small plates restaurant:

    "The new eatery’s owners hope to open by April 1, said co-owner Frank Warren and chef Jonathan Boe, with a menu that will include “French-inspired” dishes like filet mignon and duck confit served as small plates, all priced under $10."

    That would give him roughly 6 weeks from today to finish construction and get DOH's sign off on the kitchen inspection. While the photos show them as being pretty far along, that is an aggressive timeline.

    Hopefully DOH's schedule is not backed up, and they pass on the first try.

    A request for an inital kitchen inspection has recently been filed, using the 789 Prospect address.

    (I don't know the exact date of the request)
