Lighthouse, Veronica People’s Club, The Shop. RIP Elote & Cafe Mode
Here’s your regular round-up of comings and goings in the bar/restaurant scene.
Lighthouse: Built from scratch by siblings Naama and Assaf Tamir, The Lighthouse is a welcome addition to the South Williamsburg/Lorimer neighborhood. Serving a locally sourced raw bar, whole fish, grilled steaks, pork chops, and pickles the food is fresh and tasty, although a bit on the pricier side. Check out the full listing here. 5 Borinquen Place. Brooklyn, New York 11211
Veronica People’s Club: The popular East Village bar Heathers now has a Greenpoint outpost. Veronica People’s Club serves a dual purpose-a coffeeshop with cafe snacks during the day, and a full bar at night with live music. Check out the full listing here. 105 Franklin St. Brooklyn, NY 11222
The Shop: The shop is essentially a super cool bar and coffee shop inside a full-time motorcycle garage. Check out the full listing here. 290 Metropolitan Avenue. Brooklyn, NY 11211
Lastly, RIP Elote and Cafe Mode.
hopefully, locally sourced doesn’t mean ‘from the east river.’ ohhhhh :p
Pour one out for Wombat while you’re at it. Place has been dark for almost as long as Elote. Wonder why.
