Feluccio's pushes Brooklyn's 7th Ave restaurant scene down to Prospect Avenue

By now hopefully you already know that I currently live in Park Slope, Brooklyn and have been there for about 1.5 years. It is my experience that everyone in Brooklyn blogs in addition to tweeting. I have a solid Twitter following but have always been intimidated by how fast information and photos can be uploaded onto blogs by Brooklynites.

This is my first attempt to enter that field however I will still be posting about urban concerns in other cities.

Here we go -

I have announced it on my Facebook page (which must make it official, right?) and I will announce it here: the South Slope restaurant scene is bourgeoning.

The most recent opening was last Thursday at Feluccio (364 Prospect Avenue at 7th Avenue) - this is the former 7th Avenue Video. The restaurant isn't anything exotic especially for the Slope/Greenwood Heights. Feluccio has traditional Italian food and pizza plus a large wine list. The location will prove difficult for the venue. It’s a hike from any train station and most pedestrians will hit a ton of closer restaurants by the time they get to Feluccio. Any restaurant is welcomed by me and is much better than a vacant storefront. Over time restaurants have been pushing farther south in the Slope and Feluccio is certainly doing that. I wish them the best of luck and hope business picks up. I strolled by last night and they didn't seem too busy. They definitely need to do some outreach and marketing. A boost in business might come when Greenwood Park the large Greenwood Heights beer garden opens just down the street at 7th Avenue at 19th Street. For the record I realize some might consider this Greenwood Heights if not the South Slope.
