I agree with amanda…I live on Jay St and will still shop at Blanc & Rouge. I like the store and have been shopping there for years.

I'm tired of the lack of food options as well. FYI – Jimi's added a full chinese menu with delivery and it has been really good so far.

Can anyone suggest a good first casual date itinerary for a late Sunday afternoon in DUMBO?

Thanks!

The comment about farragut was totally not necessary. Everyone speaks about mo and pops….Is J’s Liquor a chain or is it also an independent trying to meka living. We have 2 dry cleaners, 3 supermarkets, 2 doggy centers, well two liquor stores: one for the East Dumbo and one for West Dumbo…how about that? Now I just divided the neighborhood in two…East Dumbo Rocks!!!

Ah sweet liquor, take the pain away…
B & R will be fine. Its a well run place. Already has its fan base. But where’s my gin? My icy cold desert dry martini with a twist?
Nothing wrong with the liquor store. Welcome to the neighborhood.
I also agree that more restaurants and bars would be great but that location doesn’t seem like a restaurant kind of spot.

B&R carries liquor and wine, delivers, the store has character, and they’ve been serving the neighborhood for years. I have no problem with the newbies moving in, maybe I’ll shop there occassionally. I support local businesses, just wish more food related ones were here to support instead of near duplicates of what we already have.

fwiw, a wine shop and a liquor store are different, even if the liquor store may be stocking wine. i agree with all commenters re: restaurants, it needs to be stepped up down here.

Maybe we all benefit from the competition with cheap booze!
