Brooklyn Nibbles: Fifth Avenue Update

August 26th, 2008 · 3 Comments

1) Work on the former Cocotte, which is slated to become an Italian restaurant, is well underway (above). The sign that was in the window proclaiming it an Italian place, however, is gone.

2) Slightly up the block, a new wine store will be opening up. Our strong powers of deduction told us this based on the sign (below).

3) Bagel World, which is at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Fifth Street is closed for a couple of weeks for renovations. Again, the information is related by a sign.

4) 200 Fifth, part of which was closed for renovations for a few weeks, has reopened in its entirety. We looked inside and noticed no obvious changes, so perhaps it was kitchen work?

    Geez, another Italian restaurant? We have too many of those as it is. How about something different, something better?

    The sign on Cocotte still exists on the side where they are looking for help… as of an hour ago.
