Yes, good to hear! More of a "cafe" is a development we could certainly use.

well I stopped by this afternoon, and it will not be a coffee shop, although it will serve coffee. It will be more like a cafe, food etc. They seem very nice. July seems to be the target open date.

Regardless of who ends up running this place, it is sounding as if it will be another coffee shop. When it opens, I will add it to the coffeeshop deathwatch thread: <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/the-coffee-shop-deathwatch-thread" rel="nofollow">http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/the-coffee-shop-deathwatch-thread</a> Until then, I will post a picture of what an ibis looks like, in case readers are not aware: <img src="http://www.greglasley.net/images/W/White-Ibis-F2.jpg">

At one point in December/January/February I passed by and saw two men inside. One of them asked what I would like to see there. I didn't have an answer at the time so I asked how I could get in touch with him. He said his name was Mike and he owned Little Zelda. Not sure if anything's changed since then.

I'm shocked that the border patrol hasn't shrieked and frothed about moving this thread to the Crown Heights board.

I believe it's from the folks who run Little Zelda's so I would start there.

Looking for any info on the construction thats been visible for a couple months now at this corner spot on Franklin and St. Mark's. The back door was open this morning and I was abe to see kitchen sinks and machinery, and in front the gate was slightly ajar as workers were determining how to lay some brick for a new storefront design? I figure someone may have the early scoop on what's to come.

TRY SKAZZY CAFE THIS WEEKEND FOR GOOGAMOOGA - 689 WASHINGTON BLVD

Yes, you are absolutely correct. The bar is my specialty - we're looking into a liquor license as we speak! As far as the food menu is concerned, that is unfortunately not my arena! But an impressive new chef has been hired, and I will say that, from what I've had, I was over the moon! It's very straight forward, honest food. I will be sure to mention a reduced, more simple menu for the future. <blockquote><cite>whynot_31 <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/try-skazzy-cafe-this-weekend-for-googamooga-689-washington-blvd#post-768174">said</a>:</cite> BTW, it sounds as if you are looking to earn more revenue from drinks in the future. Will you be scaling back on the number of items on your menu? </blockquote>
