There hasn’t been much food news on 3rd Avenue in Gowanus since Bar Tano opened on the corner of 9th Street back in February, but there’s some action brewing on the block between President and Union streets. On the corner of Union, an establishment called The Dog Shack opened a few days ago. Per its name, the business is hot dog-centric, though its owner says it’s also going to offer deli-style sandwiches. A full menu is still being developed. Meanwhile, on the President Street-side of the same block, the long-planned Crooked Tail Cafe recently shook off a Stop Work Order, and food display cases have made their way inside the future coffee/sandwich shop. Crooked Tail is being opened by one of the guys who owns neighboring Canal Bar, and it’s been planned since early this year.
