Greenpoint Food Watch: Happenings On Manhattan Avenue
Yesterday I shared the good news about a Dunkin Donuts slated to grace Freeman Street. Today I have a few more food-related items to pass along. Without further ado, here they are!
685 Manhattan Avenue
These chaps were a mite bit shy about letting me film their work in progress, but they were more than happy to tell me that a sandwich shop will be opening up in this space. Their estimated opening date for this establishment is June 27th.

A hop-skip down the block is this wonderful old-school storefront. This it will not be for much longer; per the gentlemen working there it is slated to become a fried chicken restaurant. I cannot honestly profess to be terribly excited about this but then again, I am a vegetarian!

Signs of activity have been spotted at the former (and very cool) sandwich shop which once graced the corner of McGuinness Boulevard and Freeman Street! A chap named Chris writes In an email entitled “Dunkin Donuts on Mcguinness!”

I checked for myself and sure enough: we’re getting a Dunkin Donuts. While I generally dislike chain stores and franchises (I prefer to keep my money “local” by patronizing smaller, “mom and pop” businesses) this may not be a bad thing. The surrounding area 9which is largely industrial) is not very well served in terms of eateries. In addition, this will be conveniently placed near the last stop in Greenpoint for the B62. I have little doubt this establishment will be a god-send to java-craving (and hungry) commuters!
