Looks like those rumors of Teddy's giving up the ghost were not far off. This is awesome, awesome news for the neighborhood. Even if they call Teddy's Crown Heights. Should be open by December, according to the article.

Yes, Washington Ave gets dining options!

WOW! Al di La is amazing, I just love them, this is tremendously good news for Wash Ave!

Those Slope people may never see my dining $ again.

... And a McDonald's may move into Love's Liquors on the corner. Bwahahaha!

Wow that's bad news to me.

I just ordered chicken souvlaki, Teddy is exiting and doing so with grace. What a man! and thanks for for your work. You will be missed and enjoy your family! short and sweet. The next guy is better because of you.
When his doors open I will be there to order, simply because of association. Good luck and good health to you and yours -
As somewhat regulars, we asked when he would be closing and congratulated him on finding a buyer.
Teddy says he will be closing in about a month.

If a stand alone McCafé tries to take out Love Liquor a Charbucks...uhm I mean Starbucks may try to outbid them.

Where's the link about McDonalds?

Hatemail, I have long suspected God has an odd sense of humor.
BTW, Teddy told me he has opened six restaurants over the course of his career, and that he may retire after this adventure.
...but he is not sure what he will do with himself when not running a restaurant, so time will tell.

wow, teddy's a great guy and his food was always good. i wish him well.
but al di la? amazing.

Bummer. I will be sad to see Teddy's go. They had the best lamb ever.
-
as far as i know, there are no other places nearby for good greek food. does neptune have greek as well as diner fare?
"Here's a little tip I would like to relate: Many fish bites if you got good bait." -
Neptune has very few Greek items, it is a traditional American diner.
...which has made my mind wonder if Franklin Ave is ready for a small, cheap,take-out gyro/falafel place.
It would complement the neighborhood's present offerings (pizza, burgers, Carib, and Mexican), and likely be supported.
Salad will soon arrive on Franklin.
At this point there seems to be very few opportunities left in take out food.

Zaytoon's is Mediterranean...
-
Zaytoon's lamb wasnt as good as Teddy's lamb. Though Zaytoons was cheaper. Me still sad.
-
i'm talking about spanokopita, greek salad, tzatziki, grape leaves, taramasalata, lemon potatoes... i don't know another place closer than astoria to get this stuff. this is what's sad.

No, it's not Queens good, but it's cheap and not bad.

is this the end? i've been too lazy to walk over there, but i've tried calling last night and tonight and get no answer. i was hoping for one more spanokopita.
Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ, teddy!

Confirmed: Steel gate down. No one inside.
Strangely, there is no "we thank you for you business, but are now closed forever" sign.

lights on, doors open, contractor van out front.. appears to be going through renovations.
I bet some random Teddy would love to have that sign(s) in his back yard....
-
We've got a few Greek restaurants in Park Slope. They may not be Astoria, but they have most or all of the dishes you mentioned.

The contractors seem like they have been in there since the moment Teddy left.

Went to Al Di La itself last night. The food was excellent, and the prices were extremely reasonable (including the wine, which had less than the customary mark-up).
Before we thought we had to go to Manhattan for Italian food of this quality -- very much looking forward to their offering closer by!

New place will be named Bar Corvo, and open in a few weeks.

Digging the "Corvo" nod to the 'hood. Nice to see a respect for the area's history. Looking forward to trying it out! I've never been to Al di La, but I'm glad it's a more casual space with prices that reflect that. Nice to have a more Italian-focused option in the 'hood apart from the blah offerings from the myriad Pizza places (well, aside from Barboncino). Looking forward to that pork shoulder sandwich too . . .

Follow the Patch link-
You will see Corvo references the 'hood.I am told one can respect the beliefs of others, without ratifying them. -

Time Out got pre-opening meal:
timeout »
Thirteen years after opening Park Slope pioneer al di là, husband-and-wife team Anna Klinger and Emiliano Coppa debut their first spin-off restaurant, bringing their simple Northern Italian fare to Crown Heights in early January. The cuisine isn't the only thing they plucked from the perpetually mobbed original: Chef Carla Martinez and partner Jacob Somers, who oversees the dining room, are both vets of the spot. Martinez will dish out homespun fare, like grilled quail and sausage with polenta, meatballs with grilled bread, and pappardelle with duck and braised cabbage.The rustic 45-seat space features a whitewashed plank ceiling, wood floors and mismatched lights made from repurposed antiques (old funnels, Edison bulbs). 791 Washington Ave between Lincoln and St. Johns Pls, Crown Heights, Brooklyn (718-230-0940)

Nice! I'd read an article saying it was going to open before last weekend, but was disappointed. Really looking forward to this place. Pappardelle w/ duck and cabbage? Sign me right up.

They know how to do media, they might not need an awning.

Tried to go there earlier tonight for the grand opening, but they had a sign up saying Friday.
-
Mrs. Whynot and I considered trying it tonight (Saturday, Jan 28th), but were told there was a 1 hour wait.
...It was around 9 PM.
