The Brooklyn Eagle breaks the news that the famed Harlem soul food restaurant, Amy Ruth’s, has signed a lease for the former Gage & Tollner restaurant space at 372-374 Fulton St. on the Fulton Mall in Downtown Brooklyn.
New York Magazine, which awards the restaurant a “critic’s choice,” says it is a tribute to a southern grandmother’s cooking and to a number of noteworthy African Americans, suggesting that readers order “The Rev. Al Sharpton” (fried or smothered chicken and waffles), “The Stan Hoffman & Lu Willard” (BBQ spare ribs), and other soul-food staples.
Something tells us this might be exactly the right choice for this site.

UPDATE: “One thing you can expect to see in 12 to 18 months is downtown Brooklyn establishing a roster of great destination restaurants,” predicted Joseph Chan, president of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership. Crain's NY Business

Where are the guys who sell gold teefs going to eat?
So much better than TGIFs.
With Abolitionist Place right down the street, it seems like a pretty good fit. (About the gold teefs thing, just don't know.)
