Cacao Prieto, a cocoa distillery based in Red Hook Brooklyn opened a pop-up shop at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory. The New York Times wrote:

A pop-up chocolate shop, Cacao Prieto, has opened at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory at the Fulton Ferry Landing Pier at the end of Water Street in Dumbo, and will remain open through the end of April. It is a kind of test run for a larger, permanent installation with a distillery in Red Hook, Brooklyn, to open next summer, but for now there are bonbons, chocolate bars and “pop rocks,” as well as hot chocolate, all with chocolate from a plantation in the Dominican Republic. It is open daily through Dec. 26, after which it will be open Tuesdays through Sundays;(718) 246-3963.

Another option where the neighborhood can buy chocolates, hot chocolate, and candy is always a good thing for the holidays. A few others in the area to visit: Jacques Torres Chocolate (66 Water Street, Brooklyn), Almondine Bakery (85 Water St, Brooklyn) or Dewey’s Candy (141 Front Street, Brooklyn).

Update on 11-15 Old Fulton Street Demolition

Fulton Ferry Landing

The Fulton Ferry Landing Association (FFLA) noted on their blog that contractors have been clearing out 11, 13, and 15 Old Fulton Street to reduce the load on the structures, under the supervision of the DOB’s forensic engineering division, as we posted three weeks ago.

“we have been informed by Landmarks that the owner has retained a new engineer to revise the shoring and bracing plans. (Some of you may have seen him taking measurements at the buildings in the last week.) According to the LPC, it should take one to two weeks before the revised plans are submitted to the DOB and the LPC. Since progress on the stabilization plan continues, the DOB has approved extending the hold on demolition until September 8th.”

However, the FFLA still notes that it does not mean these historic structures are saved. They suggest that you send an email to the “Commissioner of Buildings, Robert LiMandri, the Borough Commissioner, Thomas Fariello, and cc our electeds.” (sample email).

The DOB has issued a Full Vacate Order on the townhouses at 11, 13 and 15 Old Fulton Street due to “significant structural defects of rear wall entire building and rear yards to be vacated.” Commenters in a 2007 post about 11-15 Old Fulton Street, did mention that there are “severe structural issues with them, and the land they sit on,” so this may have affected the buildings.

DOB listing for:

  1. 11 Old Fulton Street
  2. 13 Old Fulton Street
  3. 15 Old Fulton Street
