Hummus: check, Brazilian: check, next stop Italian

I guess that would be a testiculary, not a testaurany.

If they keep the name "Bones and Tails", it will help us cope with the loss of Nouvelle Vag.

What? NV closed? Where was this documented on Brooklynian??

It is NOT being called "Bones and Tails"  it is called:  Boteco

Yay!!! That's such good news!! Glad that was cleared up... ;-)

Is there a taqueria opening on the same block?

Just another shot of the recent past:

Walked by the old Fez space last night and noticed the brown paper had come off the windows and what looks like a new awning had gone up. Couldn't really see inside, but I hope to see them open soon.

Paper fully down with the lights on and some people inside tonight.  It appears pretty much ready to go, and it looks like it will be much better lit and a little more casual than Fez.  At a quick glance the layout is a big improvement... the place should be a much better fit for the area than Fez was.  That is really becoming a great block.

more press:

They appeared to be having a soft opening today. They are calling it "Pacifico Fine Foods"

Now open.

I went her last night and it's really good. I little on the spendy side, but really fresh ingredients and good drinks. Get the pork nuggets.

I went last night, finally. I was impressed. Food and cocktails were great, and the service was really good. I will go back. 

Hopefully the partners on the liquor license remain part of the new business. Otherwise, this place will have to seek a new permit, which costs time and lost revenue.

Washington Ave has a number of upscale Italian places, so competition is stiff.

That's too bad.  We enjoyed our meals at Pacifico's.  We're unlikely to add another Italian place into rotation with Centanni and Bar Corvo already being so delicious.
