J+J Cafe
/
I took the above photo on one of the few days J+J Cafe (Fulton nr Waverly) was actually open. Yes, I was inside! And I bought a croissant and a coffee! The staff was nice, but the space was a bit shoddy.
Not that it matters now, as it closed down as soon as they put up their official sign...
I'd say until that skinny building is finished, there's little use opening anything in that space. It's almost completely invisible!

New Restaurant: EN
/Easy Being Greene and Brownstoner have posted about the new restaurant opening on the corner of Cumberland and Lafayette (once rumored to become a 7-11 and/or a Thai restaurant). Just wanted to give my two cents: I'm really psyched about this place, since it's something NEW and not another French restaurant.
New Building on Park?! WTF?
/
A few weeks ago, I came across a bizarre new building on Park by the BQE for sale by Corcoran. It looked to me like a building full of condo apartments, but the Corcoran listing I found said it was a legal 2-family listed at $979k.
I procrastinated in posting this, and now the Corcoran link isn't working, and I can't find anything about it online! What happened, and what IS this place?

It's rumored that the guy who lives here does not have electricity. I guess ghosts don't need light, and probably prefer the dark.

Wow. Way to block the doorway. Good thing ghosts can fly through plywood!

Lots of plywood windows, but look at that gorgeous front door!

OMG - how creepy is this stand-alone house with the giant eye and the weird first floor?! Also, the windows of the second floor are filled with trophies. Prize-winning ghosts!

Haunted by tacky decor, and also empty now I believe. At least the piles of garbage have been removed recently, as has the Sponge Bob toy near the front door.
New Hours @ Grand 275
/
I'm sure many of you who used to hit up Grand 275 in the mornings for coffee, croissant and WiFi have been worried. Gates have been down, and some residents feared they may have closed.
Have no fear! They're just focusing on evening hours now, but will continue to serve light brunch on weekends.

There's some sort of high-end apartment building next door, so it's only a matter of time before this place gets dehaunted.

This "hotel" reeks of haunting. Seriously, what is this? An SRO?

Nice siding.
