Stone Park Cafe Team To Open New Venture in Tempo Space

It seems that my story yesterday about Stone Park Cafe moving to a new location on Fifth Avenue was right and wrong.

Clearly, some phone calls need to be made. But according to a comment on the blog, I was right about the fact that the Stone Park team plus a new partner are opening a restaurant in the space formerly occupied by Tempo and Tempo Presto.

Here's what I may have gotten wrong. The Stone Park Cafe will stay open on Third Street. The new venture in the space on Fifth Avenue between Garfield and 1st Street will be a different restaurant with a different name.

Phew. I thought it was strange that Stone Park Cafe right there on Washington/JJ Byrne Park and near its namesake the Old Stone House, would vacate their perfect Park Slope location.

I am interested to hear what direction the Two Josh's and their new partner are going in. What will it be? Italian, Fusion Mediterranean, American cuisine?

Clearly some phone calls need to be made.
