Cajun Spot Planned for Myrtle Ave.
509 Myrtle, the ground-level storefront at the half brick, half silver building between Ryerson and Grand, is getting a tenant. As reported in the Myrtle Minutes, the owners of the Manhattan-based Caribbean restaurant Negril will open a still-unnamed spot with Cajun, Creole and seafood dishes. Quite the boom on Myrtle Ave. recently, huh? GMAP

Myrtle has had an active BID for six or more years now, and all their good work is really paying off. The Fulton BID just got started this past year–I hope they will be as successful.
646, the new Brooklyn Victory Garden on Fulton sells organic (prepackaged) meat and cheese. I hope they stay in business. It’s highly unlikely we’ll ever get a butcher unless it’s part of a bigger store like Greene Grape Provisions. And it will not be the friendly affordable neighborhood butcher that everyone wants because retail rents have become too high!
In fairness, Myrtle Avenue has a big head start on Fulton Street. When was the LDC created on Myrtle? Over a decade ago by my reckoning. The Fulton Street BID is not even two years old. The fair comparison is the Fulton Street of today with the one you see in 2022.
(Man, you spend most of your life writing 19-something and “2022” seems like science fiction territory.)
For some reason I agree with you Myrtle does seem more pleasant. But what we really need now is a butcher.
I’ve always found Fulton to be an unpleasent street to walk down for some reason. Maybe that’s why I rarely frequent any of the businesses past South Oxford. I find dekalb and myrtle to be a lot more pleasant to walk down, even it it’s “worst” stretches.
i agree m4l– i thought Fulton was emerging the development victor for the myrtle/dekalb/fulton/atlantic race, but myrtle is getting some cool stuff, and fulton seems to have plateaued. i hear that crepe place on fulton is getting dangerously low business.
that map isn’t accurate.
oh yeah. am getting a little envious (but also optimistic too) that fulton st is not getting as much nice retail as myrtle but one can hope of similar outcome soon
can’t wait. eagerly anticipating the pub on clinton and myrtle as well.
i bet rob won’t like the paint job on that thing.
