StreetLevel: Bar Tano on 3rd Ave. Opening This Week
The new spinoff of Park Slope’s Bar Toto, Bar Tano, is going to open on 9th Street and 3rd Avenue this week. The restaurant’s space has been lovingly renovated (check the before photos here), and the menu—which hasn’t yet been finalized— probably isn’t going to stray too far from Toto’s “panini+” formula.

StreetLevel: Italian Grub on 3rd Avenue GMAP
I’ve only lived in Gowanus for a few years, but I feel like things are starting to look up for us. We may not be Park Slope or Carroll Gardens by far, but I can actually afford to live by myself here and I’m within walking distance to everything Park Slope and Carroll Gardens has to offer. Plus with a new venue on the way and Whole Foods opening up down the street, I feel like it’s only a matter of time before Gowanus starts becoming a more desirable place to live. Lest you forget, Park Slope and Williamsburg used to be pretty crappy places to live once. Things change!
“Gowanus is going to be the Venice of Brooklyn.”
Sinking buildings lining a stinky canal? Yup, I’d say we’re already there.
Gowanus is going to be the Venice of Brooklyn. You heard it here (something other than) first.
Whatever 12:32, the area has already changed alot in the 4 years I have lived here. Believe it or not, people actually do live and enjoy areas that arent full of fantastically restored brownstones – There is alot more to neighborhoods than that.
I’ll check it out. However, I don’t believe that the area will change much simply because you don’t have the beautiful brownstones and distance to the park is great
Speaking for myself and many of my friends in Gowanus, we are thrilled to welcome a place to drink, eat, and brunch to the neighborhood so we don’t always have to trek up the hill or across the canal. And I have a feeling we will be loyal and excited patrons for Bar Tano. Welcome!
Gowanus Rocks! I love it here…
Long as they make a good gimlet, I’m there.
I’ll make the hike to check it out.
