Lower East Side Cool in W.T.
By maclaren • Jun 18th, 2008 • Category: Spotted in the Hood •Per Brownstoner, the Universal store on PPW finally gets a tenant - and a cool one, too:
Is quiet Windsor Terrace going to become Brooklyn’s Lower East Side? No, but the owners of two LES shops are joining forces to open a bar and restaurant on 16th Street and Prospect Park West. One of the guys behind Ludlow Street’s bakery/record store/gig space Cake Shop is teaming with the owner of Rivington Street’s Tiny’s Giant Sandwich Shop to bring a beer bar and eatery to the old Universal Video space. The biz, name TBD, will probably open in the fall, according to Greg Curley, the Cake Shop co-owner behind the Windsor Terrace venture. Curley says he and his partner hope to have “low-key” performances but that it’s not going to be a full-blown venue like Cake Shop. What it will definitely be, we think, is some new-school competition for Farrell’s.
