Foods Bowery were just the beginning: The Times says Eric Demby and Brownstoner founder Jonathan Butler, the guys behind Smorgasburg, are ready to take the Artisanal Brooklyn movement corporate.</p> <p>In addition to extending their Whole Foods partnership to upcoming stores in Gowanus and Williamsburg, the duo also plans on opening a beer hall in Crown Heights and — thanks to a $25 million investment from Goldman Sachs coupled with "$1.5 million in support" from Marty Markowitz's office — open an incubator kitchen in an old Studebaker Service Station at 1000 Dean Street. For that last bit, Demby and Butler will also partner with BFC Partners, the megadeveloper that is currently working on the massive City Point project on the land that partly housed the DeKalb Market. (Butler broke down the plans on Brownstoner last April.)</p> <p>Sounds like today's small-batch food producers really might be tomorrow's millionaires.</blockquote> </p></blockquote> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/899-917-bergen-street-a-soon-to-be-food-court-and-beer-garden-smorgasborg#post-764809 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 12:29:12 +0000 whynot_31 764809@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>These folks are not playing around:</p> <p><blockquote>The five occupants of the new food hall, scheduled to open toward the end of the year, will be drawn from the network of smart, business-savvy food vendors that Brooklyn Flea has nurtured. Becoming a member of Demby and Butler’s club isn’t easy. “There’s an intense curation process you go through before you’re invited to be a vendor,” says Danny Lyu, who launched his Mexican sandwich stand Cemitas at Smorgasburg, the sprawling food markets Brooklyn Flea operates in the Williamsburg and Dumbo neighborhoods from April to November. “They want to know who you are, what your idea is, and then you have to cook for them before they’ll ever let you in.”</p> <p>Butler is especially tough. “We’re not looking for the pitch, ‘I make great cookies,’ ” he says. “We want, ‘I found a market for these cookies, and this is what my logo looks like, and this is what my brand is.’ ”</blockquote></p> <p>Source: <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-02-21/goldman-sachs-backs-brooklyn-fleas-new-food-market" rel="nofollow">http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-02-21/goldman-sachs-backs-brooklyn-fleas-new-food-market</a></p> <p>Echo: <a href="http://m.ny.eater.com/archives/2013/02/brooklyn_flea_1.php" rel="nofollow">http://m.ny.eater.com/archives/2013/02/brooklyn_flea_1.php</a> </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/899-917-bergen-street-a-soon-to-be-food-court-and-beer-garden-smorgasborg#post-762344 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 01:23:51 +0000 caseopele 762344@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Thank god I don't live on that block anymore. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/899-917-bergen-street-a-soon-to-be-food-court-and-beer-garden-smorgasborg#post-762027 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:26:13 +0000 whynot_31 762027@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Those who like commercial activity, are going to love Western CH in 2015.</p> <p>Say goodbye to the local junk yards, auto repair places and bus depots: Serious investment is arriving. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/899-917-bergen-street-a-soon-to-be-food-court-and-beer-garden-smorgasborg#post-762022 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:09:54 +0000 notsayin 762022@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Smorgasbergen </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/crown-heights-and-prospect-lefferts-gardens/899-917-bergen-street-a-soon-to-be-food-court-and-beer-garden-smorgasborg#post-762017 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 00:36:40 +0000 whynot_31 762017@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Most of your have read about the new home of the Brooklyn Flea, 1000 Dean Street. </p> <p>What you may not be aware of is the associated food court and beer garden to be located nearby, at 899 - 917 Bergen St. It will be named <strong>"Smorgasborg"</strong></p> <p>It will seat up to 250 people..... beer, wine and hard liquor lic was supported by CB8.</p> <p><img src="http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq220/whynot_31/Picture1-8.png"><br /> <img src="http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq220/whynot_31/Picture2-2.png"> </p>
