Myrtle Avenue’s newest bar and restaurant, The Runner, led by head chef Andrew Burman, will be holding the official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony & Grand Opening reception tomorrow, Thursday, March 6, at 4pm in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.  Come join us to celebrate and welcome the new business to the neighborhood.

The food and drinks at The Runner are inspired by menus of the late-19th and early-20th centuries, a time when America sought to define its own style of cooking to individualize itself from French and British traditions, and when “local, seasonal” was not a trend, but a way of life. The ethos of the cuisine and concept is American Heritage and The Runner aims to provide a relaxed yet inspired neighborhood experience. “Everything at The Runner is purposeful, informed and considered,” says Andrew Burman, “but the result is a down-to-earth hospitality experience meant for everyone to enjoy.” Andrew Burman also co-owns the Carroll Gardens brewery, Other Half Brewing Company, and he founded Court Street Grocers.  For more information on the menu offerings and The Runner’s cooking philosophy click here. The 40-seat dining room includes chef counter seats, and the attached bar area offers additional bar seating where guests can order from the bar menu that features pared-down but similarly-inspired American Heritage small plates.

Come welcome our new comers to our small business community, try homemade cocktails, and taste food cooked from The Runner’s wood-burning oven. Please RSVP here.

The Runner is located at 458 Myrtle Avenue between Washington and Waverly.
