Big News: Vietnamese Sandwich Shop Confirmed

It’s, like, the biggest news in Brooklyn. A Vietnamese sandwich shop is going into the space that used to be the Tea Lounge on Seventh Avenue and 10th Street. The Brooklyn Paper confirmed the story that Gowanus Lounge reported from a rumor on the Brooklynian. Got it?

Here from the Brooklyn Paper:

“After looking at that the area, [we saw that] there is no
Vietnamese food over there and we just want to bring something to the
neighborhood,” manager Michael Ting told The Brooklyn Paper.

The shop will have an expanded tea selection, and Ting said they are
considering opening a coffee bar. But the main attraction will be the
banh mi, that delectable French-influenced Vietnamese sandwich that
comprises spicy pork, pickled vegetables and a mayonaise-like spread
piled high into a baguette — a remnant of France’s one-time dominance
in Indochina.

Hanco’s has signed the lease, though some details remain to be
worked out. But neighbors were excited to hear that a storefront empty
since July — and one that was so popular a spot with Wi–Fi-surfing
freelancers — would again come to life.

  1. Uh, kinda messed up the details here. It was first reported on Gowanus Lounge based on a neighborhood tip. That formed the basis of the Brooklynian thread. Really, try to get this stuff right.

  2. Uh, no. It was not reported first on Brooklynian. It was reported to the Gowanus Lounge and, then, that started a thread on Brooklynian. Please try to get your facts right. You’re misleading your readers.
