The merchants on Myrtle Avenue are ALWAYS up to great things, in their stores and outside of their stores.

In addition to their hard work and entrepreneurial efforts and their time as vital members of their families and the community at large, many are actively engaged in even other efforts. To name just a few of those activities: mentoring, fire fighting, teaching, social activism, fashion merchandising, ballet dance, youth work, public speaking, accounting, saxophone playing, visual art and chorale singing.

We recently came across pictures of two business owners in action “in their spare time,” and we thought we’d share.

Turns out that Christopher Sanchez, chef and owner at Le Petit Bakery at 354 Myrtle and Dr. Dennis Cheng, eye doctor and owner of the eponymous DC Optics located at 390 Myrtle Avenue are Spartan racers! Yep, in these popular obstacle races, they regularly jump over fire, run through mud and God knows what else. Just the adrenaline rush they need for Christopher to continue to come up with amazing pastry recipes and for Dennis to continue to care for our eyes. Thanks guys! 🙂

 

Le Petit Bakery is located at 354 Myrtle Avenue between Carlton and Adelphi (718.875.6500). It is a mother/son collaboration borne out of a desire to bring the comforting flavors and warmth of family gatherings from their table to ours. Le Petit focuses on making exceptional, fine quality, French pastries with an American twist.

DC Optics is located at 390 Myrtle Avenue between Clermont and Vanderbilt (347.504.1121). It’s mission is to provide patients the most comprehensive eye examinations, stylish eyewear and latest innovations in contact lenses in a relaxed and friendly environment. DC Optics also looks to provide community outreach in the form of school screenings and exams for children in need. Proceeds from every purchase go to help children in our area who need glasses but cannot afford them.

Underground fire on the Avenue

morning fire

Fire trucks lined Myrtle Avenue between Waverly Avenue and Hall Street starting at about 10:30 this morning. The possible cause was fire in an underground Con Ed vault.

Much of the fire truck activity appeared to be concentrated on the north side of the Avenue between Washington and Waverly, though the FDNY opened all commercial cellar doors on both sides of the street in this area.

An explosion was heard sometime between 11:30am and noon. Several businesses on these blocks were evacuated and many residents and other pedestrians were advised to go/stay indoors.

Thankfully, there were no injuries of which we are aware.

Fire trucks began to leave the area and some normal activities started to resume at around 1:30pm, though many businesses still haven’t been able to return to open or re-open their businesses.

A few Con Ed emergency trucks are still on the scene as well as the FDNY investigation unit. There are reports that some Time Warner Cable service is out in the area. The 88th precinct is also on the scene helping to secure the area.

Peck’s Homemade Delicacies: August Opening!

Peck's

Peck’s, the eponymously named fresh, prepared food business is set for a soft opening on Myrtle Avenue in August and a grand opening in September. Peck’s will be located at 455 Myrtle between Washington and Waverly.

Peck’s will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and include a variety of fresh, delicious food selections, including prepared foods, charcuterie, artisanal cheese, salads, rotisserie chicken, sandwiches, baked goods, vegetables, preserves, wines and growlers of craft beer. Prepared food selections will vary daily. Some prepared dishes on the menu lineup are: roasted carrots with salsa verde and buttermilk dressing, white beans with chorizo emulsion, mashed potatoes with chicken fat fried onions, kasha varnishkes, braised fennel with sharp provolone, and salmon rillettes. Also forthcoming: a backyard space where neighbors can enjoy family-style dining.

 

Owner, Theo Peck, is no stranger to good food, having started out at the age of three at his great grandfather’s famous Lower East Side establishment, Ratner’s Restaurant. He later opened Lansky Lounge, a successful Lower East Side restaurant and bar. Theo is also is the creator of The Food Experiments, a leading national tour of amateur food competitions.

“Living in the area with my wife and son, I wanted a place for locals to go to grab a quick bite to eat without having to worry about high prices and lack of quality,” stated Theo. “Whether people are picking up food for their families, entertaining guests, going on a picnic or need something convenient after working late, we hope the shop will become a neighborhood staple,” he added.

Peck’s will receive a New York Main Street grant from the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership, which will support the installation of a new storefront and other improvements to the retail space.

Connect with Peck’s on Facebook and Twitter for further information, including information about opening day! Peck’s website is forthcoming.

Public Design Commission Approves Designs for Myrtle Plaza


After extensive public input and multiple design iterations, the New York City Public Design Commission (PDC) approved the plans for Myrtle Plaza, a $6M capital project to reconstruct the streets and sidewalks of Myrtle Avenue between Hall Street and Emerson Place.

The Myrtle Avenue plaza will create approximately 25,000 square feet of new pedestrian space by reconfiguring two blocks of the four-block service road and the southeast corner of Myrtle at Hall. Enhancements include: improved crossings, new bus stops, dozens of new trees, large planters with ornamentals, game tables, a water fountain, a permanent art installation, moveable tables and chairs, and more. The plaza will also provide space for community programming. The Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Business Improvement District will be the city’s maintenance partner and will be responsible for upkeep and programming. Construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2013 and will last over a year.

Check out the site plan and renderings here.

This project is part of the first round of NYC DOT’s capital Plaza Program . Funding was provided by Councilmember Tish James, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, and NYC DOT.
