new business alert!

there's a new restaurant coming to henry + atlantic in brooklyn heights. the (ceeyute!) owners are fundraising via startup site kickstarter. it's called COLONIE and it's scheduled to open in november, so i'll see y'all in january or so...

We have an amazing chef who is focused on local, seasonal American cuisine with a definite bias to all things gastronomically Brooklyn, and our wine list will be unique yet super approachable and affordable. We have an incredible bright and airy space with high ceilings and lots of exposed brick, and we are looking to create an environment that is warm, comfortable and interesting. One of our design elements is to include an open kitchen with counter dining. To us, nothing is cooler than sitting at the kitchen while a chef prepares your meal right in front of you. Watching the art of cooking while you dine is like a new kind of theater and can be truly inspirational, changing the way you think about the food you eat. (via)
