It looks like a cafe or bar is being built out on the first floor. Does anyone know what this will be?

Name is ZigZag, 1075 Bergen Street (near Nostrand Avenue). They presently have a temporary 30 day lic for Beer/Wine/Cider, and need to get a permanent one.

there's also a japanese-owned restaurant opening right next to there (or is that the name of said restaurant?)

You may be referring to Cafe CottonBean- which has the white awning in the photo. That’s been open for a while (maybe a little over a year?)

RadGirl

No, i know about Cotton Bean, it's not that one. They (cotton bean workers) know about this nearby restaurant though, and that they're taking forever to open! Could be zig zag...dunno.

You are right. An application taped to their door says that they will be a Japanese restaurant called Utera.

whynot_31

Can you get me the street address of Utera?

dean_wes

I misspelled the name above. According to the beer and wine application in their window, they will be operating under the name Uotora. The address is 1075 Bergen. Here is a website: https://uotorany.com/about/

Ah, that makes sense. They have applied for the liquor license under the their incorporated name of ZigZag, but they will operate under the name of Uotora. https://www.tran.sla.ny.gov/servlet/ApplicationServlet?pageName=com.ibm.nysla.data.publicquery.PublicQuerySuccessfulResultsPage&validated=true&serialNumber=1307215&licenseType=RW

This was in the Community Board 8 meeting minutes earlier this month: "ZigZag, 1075 Bergen Street (near Nostrand Avenue) – Beer/Wine/Cider (A 30-day waiver was issued as a courtesy for the applicant as they had begun the application process for a liquor license. If the applicant does not attend the SLAC meeting, the 30-day waiver will be revoked and a letter of non-support issued to the SLA immediately following the SLAC meeting.)"

Yes, applicants are to notify the Community Board before they seek a lic from NYSLA. So, this means that they may need to restart the process because they skipped a step. ...which would delay the process by potentially months. https://www.tran.sla.ny.gov/servlet/ApplicationServlet?pageName=com.ibm.nysla.data.publicquery.PublicQuerySuccessfulResultsPage&validated=true&serialNumber=1307215&licenseType=RW

Outora opened yesterday.

Is it good? With the new ownership at Gen, it seems a void needs to be filled east of Washington.

Ate there last night. It was wonderful! We have been truly missing a real Japanese restaurant here in Crown Heights. The sushi was superb.
