What kind of NEW Businesses would you like on Washington Ave?

notsayin

A reliable source tells me a local merchant is looking at 810 Washington (the big grey storefront on the corner of St Johns shown above) for a new Venezuelan restaurant.

That is excellent news! I have taken the liberty of creating a dedicated thread....

Nice to see all the stickers have come off the wall and are now littering the side walk. Thanks for making a mess of my neighborhood Heart of Brooklyn.

I do hope businesses buy the pitch.

It would suck to be left with a lot of surveys and a sticker filled sidewalk after all that effort.

Here are the preliminary results of the survey, complete with percentages:

Hopefully several of these ideas are believed to be profitable, to the degree that someone with the resources and drive to open it ....does!

They forgot to put up a "Sticker Removal" store!

I would like to see a butcher/Sahadi's/yummy things/cooking stuff store, like a Zabar's type place. Prime (ha) focus would be butcher, with a few more things to draw in people. I could not find a barding needle in Brooklyn a few years ago!

God-

Your wish did not appear on the bar graph version either.

I am definitely showing this to Paisanos next time I am in there.

Great! More stickers that will litter the sidewalk. Thanks Heart of Brooklyn for messing up the hood.

God-

April 30th was the last day for Heart of Brooklyn.

...they were funded to improve the area around the Brooklyn Museum, the Children's Museum, and the Library.

Thanks to their work, and the gentrification that was swept all of West Brooklyn, they can no longer get funding to attract businesses and throw events for these areas.

The final round of stickers that will come off and litter the sidewalk are a send off...

god

Thank you Street artists for making our neighborhood look beautiful!

Two words: bubble tea

whynot_31

I think Colala (the Chinese place on Washington near Lincoln) has Bubble Tea. ...but I have never ordered it. Is it any good?

Also, those craving a fish market should know that since this thread has begun, construction on a fish market has begun on Vanderbilt.

Wishes are coming true.

Yeah, they're kind of surprised when you come in and order it to go, it takes forever, and it's just ok. Lots of empty/under construction store fronts these days.
