What isn't going up on Vanderbilt?

please add:
Having to cross Flatbush for my favorite locavore Bloody Mary Mix
but this is excellent news! i love to hear that we are getting new businesses in the neighborhood: facades freshen up and the street gets a little cleaner. the hair salon/bar/restaurant/hair salon/bar/restaurant thing was getting a little old, even for a devoted hair doer/drinker/eater such as myself. and if they actually sell fresh roasted coffee beans, i'll be there weekly!

There's no such thing as bad publicity -
Maybe the mayo place will attract an upscale kitchen shop.
-
Belgian Fry shop hopefully
-
Could you buy a sub sandwich locally and then bring it to him to get a schemer of mayo?
Could I ask him to stock a variety of mustards for this purpose?
-
Gah! I just heard that the guy from Plan B is taking over one of the spots across the street from him to open another place. Not sure if it's the Forest Floor or the Allstate place but jeez! I was really hoping for something that's not another bar.
I live on that street. In retrospect I would totally love a condiment shop of any kind instead.
-
I've also heard that the old Plumbing place between Soda and the vintage shop has some fancy restaurant guys attatched to it now too. Anybody know details?

Is that the place with the really skinny windows and brick facade?
I thought it was beeper repair shop.

Never heard of the beeper guy. That was a good read, thanks! I would love good sushi but my dream would be a good butcher or fish monger.
-
I second that dream of a fish monger on Vanderbilt.
-
Joyce's bake shop actually used to be fish store back in the day. up until 2006 I think.
-
Yup. The closest places for fish is now the expensive Natural Land on Flatbush.
Compare supermarket (located in the former hospital complex in CH), also has fish, but is sort of hike.
The Green Market also has fish, but is only open on weekends
-
A fish store would be great! I think it would do well.
-
We usually go to Brooklyn Fish Camp or Ocean Fish Market on 7th in Park Slope. They both seem to have a great selection of fresh fish, but it's quite a hike to get there from PH.

They are open -- limited menu right now (only 3 starters and 4 entrees for dinner last night) but said they'll be fully up and running soon. They have a nice big garden out back as well.

Time magazine is still published?
Time magazine mentions new mayo stores?
...whatever happened to Death With Dignity?
-
I want the Mayo Store to have an opening with Marty Markowitz and a Caribbean steel drum band marching down Vanderbilt
-
The last time that happened in the neighborhood, the steel drums were accompanied by almost naked Soca dancers.
We should tell Marty NOW, that he may not dress as an almost naked Soca dancer.
While the opening of a mayo store is big news, it is not worth damaging our eyes.

Jack Krohn approves of naked Soca dancers!

*$ :elephant:

So, has it opened? The glorious opening?
I've been watching for it, but if the store's as tiny as people said it's going to be, I may(o) have missed it.
-
All I know is that City Bakery is getting close to opening.
-
New Japanese restaurant under construction on Vanderbilt near Pacific.
...it looked like they still have a few months of construction before they are able to open.
-
One of the storefronts under construction declared some kind of "fish fry sports bar" was coming.
Location: Westside of Vanderbilt, somewhat near the bookstore.

Things that are not, not going up on Vanderbilt...an artisanal mayo shop. I'm calling the top.

the japanese place on vanderbilt and bergen looks pretty near done. they were working on the facade tonite i went up and introduced myself to them (i know, that's not what new yorkers do. newish transplant from california here). nice couple running the restaurant. they'll have a sushi bar, beer and wine, and cooked japanese food and maybe different asian-y specials each month (thai, chinese, etc).
the interior looks much better than the super generic sign they had up a few months ago would have indicated (saying 'JAPANESE RESTAURANT COMING SOON' in red block letters)
Howdy, Stranger!
