Creperie Opens on Grand
Another data point for the resurgence of Southeastern Clinton Hill: A new creperie called Mago has just opened at 466 Grand Avenue, basically kitty-corner from the recently opened Fulton Grand Bar. Has anyone tried it yet? Hopefully it will fare better than the previous tenant, Brown Betty. GMAP

“kitty corner” i love that you used that… growing up it was always called “catty corner”. it may have been a jersey thing, or a really dumb family thing, who knows.. but i havent heard that term used in a quite a while..
*rob*
We checked out the Fulton Grand on Sunday afternoon. It’s nice, not swanky or anything, just a low key neighborhood bar. Pleasant atmosphere. I’m genuinely glad it was the 4th Ave pub people who opened a bar there. They do a good job.
I’ll try the creperie after a few drinks at the FG and do what I always do when I order crepes which is to call the waiter over and say in a really heavy fake french accent, “But waiter! My food, it tastes like crepe!”
Going to try it out, as well as the Fulton Grand Bar this evening. I am really hoping they’re both terrific!!
Between this and Fulton Grand opening up, it’s a heck of a time to be contemplating leaving that corner, and alas, NYC as well. 🙁
Hmm… I really don’t see how “data point” “resurgence” and “creperie” can all be in the same thought…
Hey, I liked Brown Betty–And Mago is very good, cheap, quick and very tasty! Crepes, cocktails and dessert all on one corner, I’m in heaven
I had an awesome crepe there, and they were open early, when Outpost and Michael Allen were closed.
So far so good.
No, the place definitely closed well before she started at Black Swan.
I think Brown Betty was doing fine, that place was great- she just moved on the Black Swan, right?
