NEW RESTAURANT GOING INTO TEMPO PRESTO

They’re putting new doors on the former Tempo Presto space on the corner of Third Street and Seventh Avenue.

I wonder if this is the restaurant/cafe a PR guy called me about a few weeks ago. "He said he was inquiring, for his client, about advertising on OTBKB. 

All hush and hush and secretive, he ouldn’t tell me the name of the place. Top secret and all that. I said if you want to keep it a secret don’t tell me because I’m Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn and it’s my job to Know and tell all (unless it’s off the record and I can keep secrets).

Anywho, two Russian guys were doing construction work in the new restaurant. It looked like they took the bathroom out. They wouldn’t say what kind of restaurant it is.

"We don’t know," they said.

I wanted to say, you have to tell me I’m OTBKB. But I didn’t.

  1. Stay with it sweetie. Lurk around in those dark corners so you can bring us the reincarnation of vacated soon to be re-incarnated restaurants.

  2. So that’s you, Louise, lurking late at night in front of empty storefronts on Seventh Ave. with a stethoscope and a pair of night vision glasses. What’s to be gained, I wonder, by knowing the identity of a business a week, a month or a year before that business opens?
