I don't think I saw this mentioned anywhere yet. I noticed two signs up today. First, El Encuentro is being turned in to Athena (a mediterranean place) and the opposite diagonal corner says Slope Restaurant bar and grill (or something similar...I couldn't see the whole thing).

Anybody know anything else about this?

I don't know what the other place was before. I am wondering because of the way the banners looked if these two spaces are from the same owner. If not, two new places will be competing right from the start.

    Flexi, if and when a menu appears for Athena, it would be lovely if you could scan and post it. I love me some good Greek cuisine!

    Thanks.

    I don't really walk past this street much, so somebody else can probably get you a menu sooner, but I'll remember if I am walking by

    I walk by every day so I'll update with a menu as soon as they have one. Or, hopefully, just a website.

    My family and I went to the new restaurant at 6th Ave and 14th Street for brunch today and the food was delicious, the owner told me about the name of the restaurant (ATHENA), is the most adorable story, is their daughter's name.

    They have a Mediterranean cuisine menu, but soon to be more Greek food in their menu.

    It is a family owned business and they are very nice people, his wife and sister were working as well.

    Just want to let the neighborhood know about the new addition to our community.

    Have a nice day!!! :D

    i can't believe El Encuentro closed down after all these years (they had to have been there for about 15 years, right?) , and especially after all the renovations they did.

    Am I to gather that "I love park Slope" poster is really someone from Athena? Have any real posters been there yet?

    El Encuento has been around a long, long time (I've been here 11+ years, and I remember seeing it years ago. Never went inside).

    Hello!!

    Everyone

    I'm new to Brooklynian and I'm NOT from Athena, just a customer that was very pleased with the food and the service and wanted to let other people know.



    Take care!
