HERE'S PARK SLOPE: Cheeburger Cheeburger Controversh and Spice!

image via Here's Park SlopeOn Monday news broke that the long-vacant corner storefront on Fifth and St. Johns would be an all-natural vitamin and snack store. A clothing store will also be moving into the former Area Kids space, on Seventh between Union and President. And in an epically silly move, someone at Cheeburger Cheeburger illegally decided to stick bright pink menus under the windshield wipers of just about every car in the neighborhood.

Cheeburger's owner apologized the following day. I also noticed a curious crop growing out of the sidewalk on Sterling between Seventh and Flatbush (no, not the one you're thinking of).

On Wednesday it was discovered that Tenko Sushi and Thai, previously Picasso Asian Fusions, has now re-opened as Shinju Sushi on northern Fifth Ave. Someone also apparently tried to kick in Beer Table's front window. Unleashed by Petco also opened, on Seventh near Union.

Thursday brought news that Spice, the Thai restaurant moving into the old Lemongrass Grill space on Seventh, would be opening up on Friday. The exterior of Zito's, the Italian sandwich shop opening further down Seventh, is also coming along nicely.

On Friday Spice did indeed open, and it will certainly give Mango across the street a run for its money. Chip Shop also turned into a crime scene, as a thief broke in and stole the safe. Finally, the eyeglass store that's replacing the Video Forum put up some signage.
