Construction Underway at Park and Flatbush

There's finally some activity inside the storefront on the northeast corner of Park Place and Flatbush Avenue on the Park Slope/Prospect Heights border, in the space last occupied by a jewelry and shoe repair shop (which has since moved next door).

The space, which has been vacant for several months now, has been gutted and the old storefront has been completely removed. Activity has been slow-going, and none of the neighboring businesses know what's slated for the space. It's a prime corner in a gorgeous old building, so hopefully it'll breathe some life into the corner. Better not be a burger place!

UPDATE: This just in from someone associated with the North Flatbush Avenue BID: “The sole owner of this new restaurant is Greg Yerman, the owner of Burrito Bar and Kitchen. We just went to before CB8 community board and a liquor license was approved. This will be a totally different restaurant from Burrito Bar, it will be a cozy, farm to table, organic restaurant serving chicken, fish and beef. There is a 6 seat bar at the Flatbush Entrance. Organically grown foods will be served seasonally. It will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week. There will also be an outdoor open cafe similar to Burrito Bar with about 10-12 tables. Greg and the BID have been in communication with the Carlton Avenue Block Assoc. He will continue to keep with the same stipulations that is expected of him as a good neighbor and businessman.”
