Trader Joe’s
coming to W’burg
BY CATE CORCORAN
Trader Joe’s is really coming to Williamsburg.
Bright red signage is up
outside on the building at 200 Kent Avenue,
between North 3rd Street and Metropolitan
Avenue. The interior is being
built out, and they are taking deliveries,
according to a sign in the lobby.
Rumors of opening dates online are
all over the place, with some saying
Black Friday, November 30, December,
and even January. The Trader Joe’s
website says the location is “coming
soon.” Based on what we saw when we
stopped by recently, opening in three
weeks or so seems possible.
Lee (the denim company) is taking
up another storefront in the building,
and other spaces are still empty.
The building will have parking underground
and, unusually, on the second
level.
SHEEP-WRECKED
That sinking feeling ... off Sheepshead Bay
BY BEN BRACHFELD
Sheeper-me-timbers!
A giant sailboat has been slowly
sinking into Sheepshead Bay for
weeks, seeping oil into the southern
Brooklyn inlet and becoming a minitourist
attraction for scallywags trudging
alongside the bay.
The sailboat, christened as “American
Venture,” has fully capsized on her
starboard side, with the bow fully underwater
and only the stern and mast
jutting out of the bay’s murky depths,
immediately adjacent to the Shore
Boulevard Mall in Manhattan Beach
and the Ocean Avenue footbridge connecting
Manhattan Beach and Sheepshead
Bay.
