More to come on this later tonight, but for right now, the word is out that 736A Franklin Avenue, the former home of about About Time Boutique (and The Spot, if you go way back), will re-open soon as a sandwich shop. ILFA is thrilled, both because Kevin and Garnet Philip are awesome people whose businesses are community lynchpins, and because ILFA absofreakinglutely loves sandwiches. About Time's designs are still available online, and based on the photo, the new shop has all the excellent style we've come to love. No word on the opening or offerings yet, but watch this space for more info.

Awesome people? That guy Kevin is a creep!
ReplyDeleteAre you crazy?!? Kevin is really great... you must be thinking of someone else. There are a couple of creeps on the avenue but Kevin is nothing but quietly polite. I have no idea why you'd say that.
Deleteawesome reply! well said.
DeleteGreat!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Crown Inn has started serving food, and the sign says it's by "Black Tree Sandwiches." Which according to google doesn't exist... YET???
ReplyDeleteIn addition to this sandwich place, here's a short list of food options that are coming soon to Franklin Ave as per ILFA and Brooklynian:
ReplyDeleteHumus Station by EP
Northside Tavern in former Roadhouse space
Pizza place by EP
New Indian Restaurant near Chavellas
Bollywood Bar by current Indian place
This sandwich place.
Who Is Ep?
DeleteI thought Roadhouse was becoming a bike shop?
ReplyDeleteRoadhouse is becoming northside tavern. Bike shop is a few doors down
Delete...
ReplyDeleteI was at 739 Franklin last night and their chef was cooking up something that smelled pretty tasty...and the menu is rather good for a bar. They said they will start serving food today!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. More choices in food on the avenue so we don't have to SETTLE for barboncino or chavelas, just because there aren't many choices in the area! Keep the development coming.
Black Tree is now at The Crown Inn www.blacktreenyc.com
ReplyDeleteKevin not Creep, he is Blood
ReplyDeletewow! looks like the new sandwich shop (about time's old place) might actually be a hit with all these talks. was there earlier when the old awning came down. the products and farmers involved are insane.
ReplyDeletegreat store front location! wish i had the spot for my idea:(
can anyone recommend a commercial realtor? we were told that there is NOTHING left on franklin!
agreeing with @8:10am. the more choices the better!
Our family knows kevin and he's real cool. good luck!
Kevin and Garnet are wonderful people! and To add to the food list - the Pizza place in the former slice of Brooklyn space is opening up mid June. (not so close to EP)
