Hummus on Cortelyou

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

I wandered by the former Belle & Maxie space on Cortelyou between Argyle and Westminster, and asked the guys inside what’s going on there.

“Hummus” was the word, with the general idea being a small, “welcoming,” and Israeli-style food joint. One of the guys in there was the architect, who also designed Sycamore; one of the co-owners of the bar, I gather, will also be a co-owner of the restaurant.

You can see the outline of the counter in tape on the floor; I failed to ask if there will be any tables, but am hoping a reader can enlighten me.

    • 10 Movies They Better Not Remake (Or Else) September 4, 2010
      I don't mind sequels and prequels and spinoffs, but remakes of movies -- especially those less than 20 years old -- really annoy me. It just smacks so much of lack of new ideas as opposed to any sort of homage. Here are 10 movies they better not remake or else there will be the Hurting...10.
