The San Fran-based sausage joint on Williamsburg’s southside opened five years ago to much buzz, but never really seemed to blow up the way people expected it would. Sure, there are many local admirers, but personally we’d rather go to Radegast Hall when we have a craving for sausage. You have until Sunday to give […]
Aviv is closing in October
Because we’re not allowed to have nice things anymore in Brooklyn. Ugh. At least Acheron is back and Elsewhere is coming soon. From Aviv’s Facebook page: Hey all, we’re sad to announce that Aviv in it’s current location will be closing when our lease is up at the end of October. We have a ton […]
Maison Premiere wannabe The Heyward has closed
The restaurant that took over the former Zebulon space in Williamsburg has closed. We were always lukewarm on the establishment, but admittedly never tried the french toast sandwich. From Eater: [The Heyward] was known for South Carolina dishes like a hoppin’ John, shrimp and grits, and a ridiculous but highly regarded breakfast sandwich that featured […]
Shi*t! F*ck! Dammit! Now The Acheron is closing
Last week, we found out we were losing Grand Victory and possibly Secret Project Robot and Palisades. Now Acheron is shutting down its backroom and will no longer be hosting shows. In another week, the only place you’ll be able to see music is the Best Buy Theater in Times Square.
Williamsburg's Crown Vic is closing
It seems like every backyard bar in North Brooklyn is closing just in time for summer. The latest casualty is Crown Vic on South 2nd street. From

Sunday, November 1st will be Tandem’s last day. A heartfelt thank you to all of our amazing regulars, staff, patient neighbors & […]
More bad news… Brooklyn Night Bazaar is closing very soon
Well this sucks. Pretty soon the only place to see live music in New York will be Terminal 5. Brooklyn Night Bazaar’s landlord let them know that a new tenant is taking over their Brooklyn space and they need to be out by June 1st. The Greenpoint music venue, food and shopping space, where shows […]
Williamsburg's iconic Graham Avenue Meats and Deli is closed
Another another one gone… Wlliamsburg sandwich legend Graham Avenue Meats and Deli, known for its Willie’s Italian Special and Godfather subs, appears to have closed its doors without warning or explanation after 30 years. As one Eater reader reports in the forums: “The workers are in the process clearing it out. Confirmed dunzo forever by […]
Bedford Ave pizzeria La Nonna closes, Parm to open soon
We love La Nonna, so we’re sad to see them go, but thankfully they have a location close-by on Kent Ave. A call to a manager at the larger, flashier Kent Avenue location reveals that the lease was up at the low-key original, which had lately downgraded to serving just its thin-crust pies. A sign […]
Trash Bar is moving to Bushwick
We were pretty bummed when we found out that beloved bar/music venue Trash Bar would join the long, long list of Williamsburg bar/music venue closings, but it looks like there’s some light at the end of the tunnel in Bushwick. Erm… meaning the folks behind Trash Bar will DEFINITELY be opening a new location in […]
