Brooklyn Bay Seafood Closed – New Restaurant

Sadly, Brooklyn Bay Seafood closed. I was sad to see this place close as the seafood here was fresh.
A new restaurant, Spice Szechuan, an Asian restaurant has already opened in its place. I know two people who have gone there and said the food was good!

I thought it was the same owners because they have the same phone number, but new owners have renamed the place and have a new menu.
They are offering the seafood dishes that Brooklyn Bay Seafood had along with their new menu.
Good luck to the new owners!

April 17, 2022New Buildings – 3rd Avenue & 99th Street

In July 2020, three houses were knocked down on 99th Street and 3rd Avenue. (9952, 9956 and 9960 – 3rd Avenue).

Now the buildings are almost complete. The Narrows is at 9956 – 3rd and these condos have the balconies in the photo above. I heard about their rooftop pool.

There are 40 condos in the building. Ten have already been sold from $689k for a one bedroom to $1.349 for a three bedroom condo. (See here) Here’s one on the 6th floor that is available.
Their website shows this digitally created photo of their roof:

In 2019, the former owner made good money on this sale. (See here)

April 17, 2022Fushimi Restaurant’s Office – 4th Avenue & 92nd

Fushimi is a popular Japanese restaurant at 9316 4th Avenue.

Yesterday, we saw four men applying the Fushimi logo all over the front window of 9207 – 4th Avenue (next to Subway, the sandwich shop) which may be their office?

Nunzio Lucy Hair Salon was in this location. They closed during the pandemic and the storefront was gutted and renewed.

Nunzio’s was where the movie, The Kitchen with Melissa McCarthy was filmed in January 2019. (See here)
