Whoa -- Beauty World is Gone!

No bike corrals on Nostrand. The parking lanes to the east are travel lanes and to the west are local bus stops and no parking during mornings for street cleaning.

If it's food, I hope it's not subs. We already have Syd's.

Syd's is good, but has been unexplainably closed too many times when my dog and I have walked there on a Steak and Cheese mission.   

If you are rooting for Syd, I will point out that I would be willing to patronize a Kitchen/housewares store at the Beauty World location.  

Bike corral on St. Johns?

It's been exactly two weeks. I'm impatient!

So, 755 Nostrand is definitely going to be Deck Salon (http://decksalon.com/). I've already booked an appointed for June for a haircut and prices seem really reasonable. $65 for a woman's haircut! Not bad. They plan to open May 31.

"It's been exactly two weeks. I'm impatient!"

I have put in a request to Mike D for info.

And, I have learned that it will involve alcohol.   An application for a full liquor lic for this space will be considered by the CB SLA Committee.

The SLA & Sidewalk Café Review Committee will meet on Monday, June 2, 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).  

you snoops crack me up. yall should open up a crown heights detective agency...lol...carry on...i love it..lol

DECK SALON. WOW. GAMECHANGER. I don't even know what an "ombre" is.

Ombre is fancy talk for making it look like your highlight job is half grown out.  Ombre in terms of non hair color is the gentle shading change from one color to another.  

ohhhh thanks!

Any word on whats going here? It has been a couple weeks now...

Well, we know the concept is something that will involve a full liquor lic.

...and that he has to elaborate on June 2nd.

Deck Salon is putting up signage...

I hear that the larger space will be either a bar or a cafe but Mike hasn't decided yet.

Word on the street...

We may need to be careful we don't confuse rumors concerning this site, vs this other site on Rogers:

Nostrand has officially flipped out. There is a storefront with PLANTERS. And LIVE PLANTS.

And yes, I am being facetious.

Mike D reportedly did not appear tonight at the SLA mtg, so we will have to wait until next month.

I am very amused by the bench in front of Tinto being used by the local corner boys to rest and get some shade during the late afternoon hours when the sun is beaming down. Next thing you know they'll be eating their blue marble ice cream while plying their trade.

See, gentrification does benefit everyone.

LOLZ

Brownstoner says the plans for the big Beauty World Space are a bar/cafe! http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2014/06/boutique-hair-salon-opens-on-nostrand-in-crown-heights-2/

Given how slowly the SLA is moving at the moment, September is very optimistic.

I doubt he will even be able to serve just food by then.

$45 for men's cuts better be the best haircut I've gotten in my life.

Contrary to what Brownstoner is reporting, I don't think Mike D is running the salon. I think Kara runs it. She might be a subtenant.

Yes, a men's cut runs me $15. $18 with tip.

$45 at Persons of Interest in Williamsburg gets you a cut and a "free" beer at least

I'd have to have had several beers BEFORE getting a $45 hair cut to believe it was a good idea.

$15?  You 1%er.  $15 gets me an afternoon in chinatown:  $4 haircut, $5 bowl of pho, and $6 at the old arcade there.  

Y'all must be guys; $65 for a ladies haircut is pretty great for NYC/brooklyn!
