Way before Starbucks invaded the neighborhood, Shakespeare's Sister was the place to go after a film at the Cobble Hill Cinema, since it was just across the street. Back then, nothing else was open after 11 pm.
When the store closed in June 2008, the owners of Shakespeare's Sister hung the sign in their window:
The storefront sat empty ever since, but just in the last few weeks, there has been some action.The entire store has been gutted, revealing a huge, sunny space. What exactly will take Shakespeare's place is not yet know.
I only hope that the new place will be as respectful to the neighborhood as Shakespeare's Sister was.

I have heard that it is going to be an "american bistro" with a lots of beers on tap
Oh, no! Not another bar....
We are already over-run by them.
I heard it is going to be an American style gastro pub with the same owners as Boca Lupa/Nectar. Opening in the Fall

I'm still so sad about SS leaving.
At least it's certainly not going to be another "grocery" that only sells formula and diapers. That's the majority of what we get new around here lately.
