There will be a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Peck’s, tonight in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Theodore Peck will be holding a ceremony for his homemade specialty food shop. The organization, elected officials, and local community will be welcoming new business owner, Theodore Peck to Myrtle Avenue.

The shop will be home to mouthwatering options, such as expertly prepared foods, rotisserie chicken, charcuterie, artisanal cheese, sandwiches, growlers of craft beer and much more. The selection will change throughout the day to keep things fresh and provide variety for repeat customers. To start, there will be baked goods, corn muffins and biscuits layered with butter and preserves, homemade granola, oatmeal and coffee/espresso from La Colombe. As afternoon approaches, sandwiches with house-made meats, prepared foods, soups and salads will fill the room.

Local resident and store owner, Theo Peck, has a long, impressive history in the food industry. His fascination with the restaurant business started at the age of three at his great grandfather’s famous Lower East Side establishment, Ratner’s Restaurant. Peck went on to open Lansky Lounge, a successful Lower East Side restaurant and bar, attended the New England Culinary Institute and honed his skills at three national Top Fifty restaurants – Blue Hill at Stone Barns (Pocantico Hills, NY), Hugo’s (Portland, ME) and Fore Street (Portland, ME). 

Financial support from our Facade Improvement program helped Theodore decide to locate on Myrtle Avenue. In the past year the Partnership has provided grant funds to new businesses like Peck’s and Humo Smokehouse, as well as recently-opened Brooklyn Sweet Spot and Corkscrew Brooklyn, to assist with build-out and the installation of new storefronts. Grant funds were made available through the New York Main Street program which provides matching reimbursement grants of up to $50,000 for façade and storefront improvements in historic buildings. Clinton Hill resident, Theodore Peck suggests that the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership was instrumental in helping him open his business in Clinton Hill. “Being a Clinton Hill resident myself, I wanted a place to share my great grandfather’s recipes (and my own), and the Partnership helped bring this dream to reality.”  

Peck’s is located at 455A Myrtle Avenue between Waverly & Washington Avenues.
