Clinton Street Synagogue Gets 6-Story Luxury Neighbor
Posted August 9, 2018 at 5:02 am
When the Congregation Chasam Sofer listed its adjacent alleyway for sale last year, the end game became clear. More development. And that’s precisely what’s happening. (The synagogue will no longer be freestanding.) Developer Andres Hogg of Hogg Holdings picked up the property (aka 10 Clinton Street) in October 2017 for $4.1 million. The plan now […]

‘BYGGYZ’ will Stay Open with Reduced Hours While Searching for Investors
Posted June 29, 2018 at 5:02 am
In a somewhat surprising reversal, Dewey Durfresne announced yesterday that BYGGYZ is not permanently closed, after all. Instead, its hours will be severely reduced. The over-priced sandwich shop was planning to shutter this Sunday after less than a year on Clinton Street (south of Stanton). Not anymore, though. Grub St noted yesterday that the plan […]

Posted June 27, 2018 at 5:03 am
Just as the Draft Environmental Impact Statement was released for proposed redevelopment of the Two Bridges waterfront, fresh renderings of the newest super-tall hit the press. Seemingly timed to coincide with this action, the illustrations reveal another boring glass dildo. Real estate blog YIMBY scored the renderings of 259 Clinton Street (at South Street), a […]

Dewey Dufresne Shutters ‘BYGGYZ’ After Less than a Year on Clinton Street
Posted June 26, 2018 at 5:06 am
A little more than nine months after its debut, Dewey Dufresne’s over-hyped gourmet sandwich counter, BYGGYZ, just bottomed out. It’ll close for good next Sunday (July 1). The name will live on, though, with residencies at Smorgasburg East River Park on Saturdays, as well as the forthcoming Smorgasburg in Prospect Park. In retrospect, the eatery spent more […]

Posted May 21, 2018 at 5:02 am
Another small-time restaurant is simply hooked into the former fish and chips spot on Clinton Street. Teaser signage at number 47 advertises the future for the south store – a fast casual place called Izzie’s. Izzie’s brings with it a menu of greasy comforts like cheesesteaks, burgers, and hoagies. (Except in New York City, they’re […]

Le French Diner Owner Plans Clinton Street ‘Windmill’
Posted April 6, 2018 at 5:07 am
This was inevitable, and further evidence that legit gallery bars rarely succeed. Relative newcomer Galeria is on its way out. In its place, a new venture from a familiar face. The two-year-old Galeria is a bar-restaurant on Clinton Street where everything is considered “artwork” with a price, from the furnishings to the plants and shot glasses. […]

‘Pause Cafe’ Expands After 7 Years on Clinton Street
Posted March 7, 2018 at 5:05 am
Press play, because Pause Cafe just expanded in a big way. The seven-year-old Moroccan-style coffee shop unveiled a larger location mere paces from the original Clinton Street storefront. Indeed, ownership chose to take over the store space left vacant by Paloma Rocket in July 2017, and nearly tripled its footprint. The retail turnaround here was […]

Local Favorite ‘Nonna’s Pizza’ is Closed for Good After Nearly a Decade on Clinton Street
Posted January 29, 2018 at 5:09 am
Nonna’s Pizza will not be reopening on Clinton Street. Thus concluding a nine-year residency on Clinton Street. The local eatery closed at the end of December thanks to an alleged impasse over its lease renewal. In other words, it wasn’t renewed. (The space has been advertised to rent since last August.) Now, more than a […]
