Brooklyn Bridge park has requested proposals for the creation and operation of Park concessions, including restaurant, food carts, and a marina at Pier 6 and for the Smokestack building. From the Brooklyn Bridge Park:
The Smokestack Building is prominently located at the intersection of Water Street and Old Fulton Street, adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge. Situated between Pier 1 and the Empire Fulton Ferry sections of the Park, the site has great visibility from Old Fulton Street and sits in a highly trafficked pedestrian thoroughfare. Empire Fulton Ferry features spectacular views of the harbor and is the location of the historic Tobacco Warehouse and Jane’s Carousel. Located at the foot of Old Fulton Street, Fulton Ferry Landing is one of Brooklyn’s most historic sites and a popular tourist destination. Pier 1 to the south is the largest of the park’s piers and the location of many of the park’s special events and programming. In the future, BBP plans to reconstruct the area beneath the Brooklyn Bridge and offer additional amenities to the public which will further increase pedestrian traffic to the area.
The smokestack could be a great place for something like Shake Shack or a seafood shack, no? What else would you want to see there?

Don’t get your hopes up. Whatever ends up there will be designed to appeal to overweight midwest tourists.

oh man I loveee calexico, but the last thing we need is another mexican restaurant in the neighborhood, there are already like 3 mexican options (even though none compare to calexico). a vegan shack sounds wonderful! but, yea, it will be crowded & touristy, so it doesn’t matter after all.

Japanese Ramen with vegetarian options … Anything but pizza, mexiacan and no more coffee/cakes. Some REAL food would be so nice.
