New 'New St. Clair Restuarant' Opens at Atlantic and Smith

The old New St. Clair Restaurant -- the diner at the corner of Smith and Atlantic, near the Brooklyn House of Detention -- closed last September. (See the old New St. Clair here.) Mr. Costa, the owner, told McBrooklyn back then that he had sold the building and was moving back to Greece. "After 40 years," he said.

Spiro Katehis, owner of the Carroll Gardens Classic Diner, bought the New St. Clair and has given the old joint a trendy makeover. No more fishing nets on the walls. The prices have gone up a bit (click on the breakfast menu to the left to see).

Has anybody tried it yet?
