Daily News Finds Savings in Gravesend


by on Jun 18th, 2009

New York Daily News featured our neighbors in Gravesend for its “Savings in…” column. While we may disagree with them calling “Gravesend … one of the last places in Brooklyn where you can find old-timers sitting at sidewalk tables, sipping espresso and shooting the breeze,” they noted some worthwhile businesses.

The article profiles neighborhood staples including one of our fave’s: L & B Spumoni Gardens (725 86th St.). It also caught A & S Pork Store (361 Avenue X), which has served Italian specialties for 43 years, and Pete’s Family Restaurant (311 Avenue X), which serves up cheeseburger deluxes for $7.70.

What Gravesend joints do you dig?

    Would Monte’s Deli be considered Gravesend? Ave O and West 5/6th?

    If so, order the Turkey or Roast Beef Deluxe!
