Any day now. Things seem to be comin along at the new Petco Unleashed location on 7th Ave between Union and Berkeley. Their facade is up and so maybe this joint is gonna open up soon?
I sincerely hope they carry our douchey organic dog food.

So that new dumpling joint, Dumplings & Things, on 5th Ave between 5th and 6th is officially open!
From Brooklynian:
Dumplings and Things opened today in the old "XXX Reis" (kitchen reis, taqueria reis) space next to Bar Reis. I stopped in on my way home from work and I am SO happy these guys are part of the neighborhood.
By the time I got there they were out of a lot of stuff (today being their first day) including the Baos which I am excited to try. I got an order of 5 fried beef and kimchee dumplings for under $2.75 after tax. The girl at the counter was really sweet and the kitchen staff seemed nice too. The dumplings were great- plump and flavorful, and larger than most at this price. They will be open till at least 10pm every day. I am SUPER excited to try their other menu items, especially a porkbelly bao (for $2!)Highly recommended. See their menu here.
Anyone else tried the dumps yet?

Happy May, my friends! On Monday I reported that Ha Noi, the neighborhood's first full-on Vietnamese restaurant, had opened its doors over the weekend. It's got a huge menu, and so far it seems promising. Old man bar Jackie's Fifth Amendment also re-opened to the public after being closed for a couple weeks post-DOH inspection.
On Tuesday I staked my claim that the month of April 2011 was the best month for foodies in the history of the neighborhood. Just look at that list of new dining options!

So, uhm, this rumor is actually being started by us, and is solely based on the photo above which was snapped on the SW corner of 6th Ave and 12th street. But I mean, that clearly looks like a duck or a goose or something, and the bird is definitely holiding a cone of pommes frites in his hands. I mean right??
