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.
