New restaurant to open at Yellow Hook Grille site
When the Yellow Hook Grille closed its doors for good in April, Bay Ridge business leaders lamented the loss of the popular bar-restaurant on Third Avenue. But a new eatery is set to open up at the site, according to a real estate firm.
Cushman & Wakefield announced that it has secured a lease for two business partners, Michael “Kaves” McLeer and Ray Medina, to open a 3,500-square-foot restaurant at 7003 Third Ave., the site of the now-closed Yellow Hook Grille. Both men are from Bay Ridge.
The new eatery, to be located on the corner of Third and Ovington avenues, will be called The Brooklyn Firefly.
