Teresa’s, the beloved Brooklyn Heights eatery, is up for rent
The restaurant's owner wants to lease out the building, and the neighbors are in shock.
After 30 years of running a neighborhood institution, the owners of Teresa’s Restaurant at 80 Montague St. have listed the business as up for lease. Brooklyn Heights residents are in a state of disbelief.
Teresa Brzozowska and her brother Bogdon Brzozowska have been serving Polish-style blintzes, pierogies, borscht, stuffed cabbage and eggs Benedict at this local stalwart since 1989.
“I’ve been coming here as long as I can remember,” Maureen Salter, who has lived in Brooklyn Heights for 20 years, told the Brooklyn Eagle. “It’s almost like a community center, where you see people coming and going. Maybe you don’t know their name, but you certainly know the faces.”
