The June restaurant news along Court and Smith Streets read like a run of coincidences. A tavern in the old Buttermilk Channel. A sandwich shop in the old Mooburger. A grocer in the old Rite Aid. Read the openings together and the pattern is not coincidence at all. It is a thesis about how operators think about this stretch of Brooklyn.
"You can kind of guarantee success in a space, if the previous business had success."
That line belongs to Nate Adler, who with Rachel Jackson opened Trudie's Tavern at 524 Court Street on June 19.
