The space is small, and won't allow a restaurant. So, I am thinking that a lawyer or an accountant could make ends meet here.

    $2700/month for this space. That is a lot of rent for such a small place...

    It is certainly far more expensive PSF than this location on Troy and Union: http://www.brooklynian.com/discussion/45318/what-would-you-put-at-troy-and-union#Item_23

    Lately, landlords and realtors seem to be willing to keep a space vacant for a long time in order to get their desired price.

    However, that does not mean the price is "too high".

    Let's see how long this storefront takes.

    A juice shop or compact coffee shop could work. They can install a long bench or some kind of seating outside to add some space. Little Zelda has done a great job of maximizing their space.

    With that rent, we are going to need a year round business.

    ...let's learn from YoGo Moo and NOT open a frozen yogurt place.

    Yeah, I don't think the neighborhood is ready for frozen yoghurt anyways. You need a certain level of population density for that to succeed. Too taste-specific. A place like Tinto's (based on what I've read), seems to do well with a small space that offers coffee and ice cream. If they offer something seasonal, something else has to compensate during the off seasons. Unless your ample hills and have enough foot traffic in the warmer months to compensate.

    A juice or coffee place could add some food items that are either brought in or easy to make in a small space (sandwiches/grilled cheese/panini's), soup in the winter, salads, baked goods.

    I'd be happy with a compact noodle shop (with bubble tea perhaps?) or some other Asian speciality shop focusing on one type of dish. You can make do with a small space if the menu is limited.

    A lot of food and beverage businesses have been creative and successful with small spaces. The LES and East Village have quite a few.

    I would personally love a local spot where I could pop in for a great chopped salad with lots of ingredient options, as well as some sweet and savory crepes, and yummy paninis. I dont recall any local places serving any of those somewhat lighter/more casual / take-away-possible food options yet....Thoughts??
  • Brooklyneya

    Yes, I agree naturegirlbk. So many options for quick food choices. I can go on and on. Perhaps even a specialty/gourmet hot dog/sausage shop with numerous choices. Pick your sausage/dog (with obligatory vegetarian, vegan, grass fed, rare meats-- buffalo, venison, etc. options), toppings, sides, natural sodas. You really don't need much space for that. Can add outdoor seating and covered outdoor space in winter (like Silver Rice).

    Uh-oh...Grrrr....Just remembered what whynot31 posted..
    No restaurants will be permitted in this space.  :-(

    Oh well, so much for those great salad, crepe, panini visions...Hopefully another entrepreneur is reading this and wants to fill this void in our nabe... :-)

    Oh, what exactly did you mean whynot by not allow a restaurant? I understood it as too small for a restaurant to work, and not that restaurants are officially not allowed.

    If you meant a restaurant is not allowed, does that mean any business serving food? Making food? Using specific kitchen appliances? Don't know how that works.

    @Brooklyneya, you understood correctly.

    Ok, good. All of that wishful thinking wasn't for nothing. :)

    When a place is listed as retail, it often means that the landlord is unwilling (or unable) to accommodate a more intensive use, such as a restaurant that requires venting and is open until late.

    A use like a subway sandwich outlet is sometimes tolerated, but even they require substantial electrical upgrades for their refrigeration.

    So, this landlord would like to begin the conversation at that much $ for a restrictive use.

    Ah, makes sense. Thanks. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
