Red Hook: September 2007 Archives

Just got an email about the space was was formerly Lillie's in Red Hook. The word is that the chef behind Petit Crevette and Bouillabaisse (Neil Ganic?) will be serving food, and there will be an adjacent restaurant/music space, La Bouillabaisse. The spot will be named after Mordecai Gist ... That last bit of information makes me think "Is this for real?" Being that it's nearly midnight, a little too late to call for confirmation, but Gowanus Lounge makes an allusion to similar information in its July Red Hook quiz. I suppose why not Mordecai? (Makes me think of the biblical Mordecai in the book of Esther.) Good to see another bar opening in Red Hook.

Oh, I walked by Bouillabaisse 126 on Union Street Saturday night and it was dead. Anybody been lately?
