Store Opening/Store Closing 2.0

by **carfreeinla** » 29 Sep 2010, 21:06

No. The last time that I walked by, they had taken all of the HD things out of the front of the store- if I remember correctly they had taken off the signs in the front too. Pretty sure that I am talking about the right place...

sounds like Ice Cream-Gate 2010! :lol:

who's gonna be Deep Throat?

What the heck is going up on 86th next door to 9 west? They've added two floors on top and huge windows going from the top of its first floor almost to the third. Looks fancy to me.

by **bklyngirl** » 30 Sep 2010, 18:49

italiana -- I thought that's supposed to be Fabco. Unless something changed, that's what a sign said months ago before any construction started.

by **gildedageinnewyork** » 30 Sep 2010, 19:18

What is a Fabco? Is it like a Costco? Oh, wait. Is that the store that's going to be in direct competition w/Century two stores away?

by **bklyngirl** » 30 Sep 2010, 19:22

I thought Fabco was a shoe store, but then others said this location was going to have clothes too.

by **italiana71** » 30 Sep 2010, 20:18

I don't know. Looks really fancy to be a Fabco.

by **crazychristie717** » 01 Oct 2010, 00:22

I heard it's going to be a super fabco. Shoes on one level and clothing and accessories on another. I kinda hope it's going to something else, because fabco shoes suck.

I saw a huge crowd outside Monacos today and balloons, so I assume they are now open?

by **italiana71** » 01 Oct 2010, 08:17

Agreed. Fabco sucks. At least we are getting an Aldo shoe store across the street.

by **Doh** » 01 Oct 2010, 08:31

I just drove by Monaco's on 3rd - they were opened. The place looks nice. Glad to see we will have another option for bakeries in the neighborhood.

by **bklyngirl** » 02 Oct 2010, 17:31

UPS Store on 94th & 3rd appears to have closed. Though there is no sign on door/window, it was not open this afternoon and everything looks packed up inside.

I have so many ways to reply to this....

by **bklyngirl** » 03 Oct 2010, 09:25

yes, I know, saying a UPS store is "packed up" is ripe with jokes.

Funny you should say that, I was wondering how they were going to ship the stuff after reading your first post.

by **naked rev. trish** » 04 Oct 2010, 17:09

I had the biscoitti at Monaco -- pretty good.

They have decent priced coffees and caps.

by **beerman** » 04 Oct 2010, 17:56

so did huckleberry's open

by **bklyngirl** » 04 Oct 2010, 18:04

nope, don't know what the hold-up is, they appear ready (tables and chairs set up inside, etc)

by **naked rev. trish** » 04 Oct 2010, 19:59

huckleberry's has been looking ready for quite some time. equipment failure?

Beebo's set to open on 3rd between 85 and 86 - it looks like they have a covered garden area (greenhouse looking thingee)

still no signs of life from Chianti.

by **bklyngirl** » 04 Oct 2010, 22:19

Which one is Beebo (there were a few places all going for liquor licenses at around the same time), is that gonna be the restaurant with the oyster bar?

by **naked rev. trish** » 05 Oct 2010, 06:42

i don't remember if it was going to be on third or fifth -- the sign just says the name and coming soon. They're doing a ton of work on the old Canteena/Pizzazaria.

by **bklyngirl** » 10 Oct 2010, 11:27

not sure if anyone posted this yet.... TJ Maxx coming to the former Circuit City space on 86th Street

by **hihowareya** » 10 Oct 2010, 13:41

Shobu grill/sushi going up fast @ 95th & 5th, about 10xs as fast as Huckleberry's... in the old 'Panic Room' location, near the R train.

by **naked rev. trish** » 11 Oct 2010, 09:18

The TJM thing was posted before; but, TJ Maxx has no location opening through Nov at 86th. I'll believe it when I see it.

by **MQS1110** » 11 Oct 2010, 10:34

I passed by yesterday and it has a sign saying TJ Max.

well then I guess you haven't seen the HUGE sign on the storefront announcing it.

New Yoga place on 4th and 90th. Easy name to remember Yoga in Bay Ridge - www.yogainbayridge.com. Finally!

by **Grizzy** » 11 Oct 2010, 21:52

wat about rjs? they have been closed for 5 days now,

by **bklyngirl** » 12 Oct 2010, 18:16

Probably because they haven't been "RJs" for a while now. Their liquor license wasn't renewed months ago and they attempted to get a new liquor license under the name "Bar 89" (or "Bar 88", something like that), even though it's the same owners. I'm guessing they didn't get approved.

by **Grizzy** » 12 Oct 2010, 22:14

how would u know they are called "Bar 89" when they dont even have a sign outside, lol

by **bklyngirl** » 13 Oct 2010, 06:42

Because 1) that's the name they used when submitting their application to the community board for a new liquor license, and 2) for a brief time they had a paper sign in their window w/this new name on it.

by **naked rev. trish** » 13 Oct 2010, 10:51

holy crap! a sign! pure genius.

by **lonestar** » 14 Oct 2010, 12:49

another "we buy gold"/pawn shop opening on 92nd street off ft. hamilton parkway, where the bakery was,
looks like a real pawn shop and not a jewelry store, guess the crackheads now have a new place to get rid of the stuff they steal

but tjmax at circuit city is a nice change

by **Grizzy** » 14 Oct 2010, 13:05

dam bklyngirl u know ur shit

by **bklyngirl** » 14 Oct 2010, 19:02

well it's been posted here a few times before, so you should know too.

I think we need a Porn shop in the nabe- the ones in Sunset Park are so seedy!!!

by **bklyngirl** » 15 Oct 2010, 07:48

Fresca Bakery that opened at 91st & 5th Ave - is this the same Fresca that was at 92nd near Ft Ham Pkwy?
hmm, I guess they moved to have a better location on a main avenue, and here I thought they closed because they weren't very good (friend bought cookies from them once and they were practically stale).

by **bklyn9** » 15 Oct 2010, 09:22

maybe it was on an off day..everything i bought was pretty decent.. not fantastic but decent

by **bklyngirl** » 15 Oct 2010, 23:13

Looks like it'll be a while before Huckleberry's opens...huge sign in window advertising that they're Now Hiring. I would've thought they'd done that by now since the place has looked ready to open for over a month, but if they're only just starting to look now, guess it'll be longer than thought until they open. Quite a few jobs are listed on the sign, including baristas.

in the spot where park ave bank was (right in the middle of century 21) Spencer gift if opening based on what someone told me

by **chopper** » 16 Oct 2010, 18:50

Bay Ridge Sushi has moved to its new home on 3rd Ave south of 69th St. Going there tonight with the neighbors.

they still have a for rent sign in the window

by **bklyngirl** » 17 Oct 2010, 21:48

walking by tonight I spotted Omonia Cafe is closed for renovations, won't be re-opening til Spring 2011.

And does anyone know the scoop on Chianti's?! It would appear they've gone out of business since it's been 3 months since they "closed for renovations" with no appearance of work being done. But if they closed for good, wouldn't the landlord be looking for new tenants. Anybody know what's going on?

by **Grizzy** » 18 Oct 2010, 22:10

i heard, (but didnt pass by) an upscale fish resturant is opening up on 3rd ave btw 86th n 85th.

by **naked rev. trish** » 19 Oct 2010, 06:28

Beebo. looks very nice from sneak peaks passing by.

by **italiana71** » 19 Oct 2010, 08:41

Beebo sounds nice. Hopefully it doesn't turn into another Level or Pearl Room.

by **bklyngirl** » 19 Oct 2010, 12:47

Agreed, and I'm looking forward to a good seafood place around here. Hopefully the prices are reasonable.

by **Grizzy** » 19 Oct 2010, 23:20

does it look like they are opening soon, or has it allready turned into a hucklyberrys
