Miracle Grill Closing?

Hells to the yeah, according to OTBKB:

"I just heard from a very reliable source that Miracle Grill, the Tex-Mex restaurant on Seventh Avenue and 3rd Street, will be closing. Sunday is their last day. My source was  told by an employee at the restaurant."

Also, HOLY SHIT!: Bobby Flay was the original chef there??

Anyway.

I was always kinda meh about Miracle, though it def sucks balls if their shuttering is recesh related.

That's a pretty hot piece of real estate ass they've got though on that corner...if this shit is true, wonder who will take it over next?

Hello to:

*Laytner's Linen & Home - opening up on Union Street between 6th and 7th ave's. They will allegedly be selling expensive sheets, expensive towels and all sorts of other expensive shit that you don't yet know you want, but SOON WILL. Yay! I'll finally have something to do while I wait for late, irresponsible zipcar assholes who can never seem to bring my fucking "Winny" back to the garage on Union on time. (Brownstoner)

*Hog Mountain - no siree, that was not a typo, folks! Hog Mountain is a new dude store for manly, man dudes that opened up on 5th Ave and Sackett. They sell clothing, outerwear, toiletries, and some hardware. 68 fans on Facebook can't be wrong, so I would go man up and check it out pronto. (Brownstoner)

*Provini - we tried it. It's DELICIOUS. <3. It's from the Bar Toto/Bar Tano crew and is on 8th ave and 13thish. Thoughtful, fresh Italian food with a killer beer/wine list. (Brooklynian)

*El Jalapeno - also tried it...also pretty friggin good. If these mofos can steer clear of the passive/agressive signage, this shit might work. (FIPS)

*Little Buddy Biscuit Company - is on 5th avenue across from Eagle Provisions. And despite some confusion, its *not* a dog bakery and its *not* just a biscuit shop (which is what I originally thought). It's a regular ole bakery that sells cookies and scones and all sorts of other delicious, fattening shit. I haven't been there yet, but its ON my list. (Brooklyn Food Blog)

Goodbye to:

*Juniors - no, they aren't closing, and yes they have one of the best turkey reuben's I've ever had, but they are dead to me now. (Daily News and FIPS)

NOTE TO FUTURE TENANTS: PRESIDENT & 5TH AVE *IS* TOTALLY FUCKED

Even CNN says so!

It wasn't your fault, Playa. That spot must be over some Indian burial grounds or some shit.

Anyone wanna meet over there with a Ouija board and see what we can uncover?

Park Slope Library To Shut Down For Renovations

Sorry for anyone who cares, but I fucking hate this library (the one on the corner of 8th stret and 6th ave). And now its apparently closing, for one year or more, so they can renovate it in order to make it "more accessible to the disabled."

First of all, let's call a spade a spade: something tells me this has fuck all to do with disabled people, and EVERYTHING to do with these. Interesting how putting in a ramp will benefit both BREEDERS and paraplegics alike.

Delicious On The Slope's Passive Agressiveness Lives On

After my one poor experience at this lame restaurant, I concluded that they needed to spend far more time on the "delicious," aspects of their cuisine...cause it pretty much blew.

Needless to say, I haven't given it a thought since. So when I heard that they were shutting things down, I wasn't exactly surprised.

But this goodbye note is simply made of pure awesome.
