North Brooklyn Dispatch
North Brooklyn Dispatch is a fresh addition to the Brooklyn blogging scene. With so many blogs popping up and disappearing (we miss you, Free Williamsburg!), we felt it was time to create something new. You may notice some of our articles date back a bit. That’s because we’ve been part of the North Brooklyn community for a long time and have been keeping track of local happenings, even if they weren't always shared. Many of these older articles serve as historical references. As the city evolves, we’re dedicated to capturing and sharing that journey.

The bar at 759 Grand Street has been replaced by Coral, a new Mexican restaurant. The retail space has not had much luck. A bar, La Oficina opened last summer, after having replaced Cafe Zouave, which lasted less than a year. Coral doesn’t seem to have a website or instagram. Photos posted by the owner to the Google listing include a menu — drinks, desserts, and a note that says its “cash only.” Additional photos show tacos, but the menu isn’t displayed, so who knows?

There’s nothing online about Moka and Mo, a new coffee shop coming to the corner of Grand and Union. Moka and Mo sounds like it could be a new, copycat brand of Middle-eastern inspired coffee shops that have been popping up across the city recently. Mokacafe and Moka & Co are two brands that come to mind. The location had previous been home to Cafe Argentino which suffered from serious fire damage in 2022 and never reopened.

Signs for a new grocery store at 597 Grand Street have covered the windows. Lidl is an international, German-based discount grocery. The chain has a fan-following similar to Aldi, another German discount grocer, with the first US Lidl stores opening in 2017. Brooklyn and Queens have a few existing Lidl locations, but the Grand Street location will be the closest to Manhattan, which has none.

JR and Son is set to open on Friday night, bringing back old-school vibes to the former social club. Eater’s Emma Orlow reports the JR and Son is being resurrected by the team behind Kellog’s Diner (which is once again open 24 hours a day). Chef Patricia Vega, former top chef-er, leads the kitchen bringing in classic red sauce dishes. Vega is umami-ing things up with Asian inspired ingredient additions. And there’s a rainbow cookie cake.

The bodega on the corner of Conselyea and Graham closed up shop after tax problems caught up with the store. Last year the shelves became thread bare at the bodega. The shop had been one of the better corner stores on the block. It served hot food all night long, and had an upscale selection of snacks. Then out of seemingly nowhere it was shuttered. In early April, fresh stock was being added to the store shelves before a new shop launched a grand opening.
