Clinton Hill's Other White Castle Has Closed

The White Castle at 959 Atlantic Avenue in Clinton Hill closed up shop about two weeks ago, a tipster let us know. “I’m devastated!!!” she wrote. When we went by this morning, a chain fence enclosed the property and the door was boarded up.

In December, longtime owner 86 Lefferts Corp. filed an application for a demo permit. The company owns other commercial properties in Brooklyn. No other applications for building permits have been filed.

White Castles have been closing all over Brooklyn. The ones at 531 Myrtle Avenue in Clinton Hill and 781 Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg will be replaced by apartments. By our count, there are five left.
