Tribeca Pediatrics will soon be opening an office at 327 Court Street at the corner of Sackett Street in Carroll Gardens.  Founded by Dr. Michel Cohen in Manhattan 25 years ago, Tribeca Pediatrics has expanded rapidly in recent years and now serves communities all around  New York City, New Jersey, and Los Angeles. There already are satellite  office in Boerum Hill and in Park Slope.
Obviously, the Carroll Gardens location makes sense, given the amount of young families who have moved here in recent years.

Just recently, Douglas Elliman* moved out of the commercial space on the ground floor and the real estate office's signage over the front door was removed. Underneath, one can now clearly see the outline of a shop that occupied the space many years ago: "Vaccarino's Flowers".
I do faintly remember a flower shop at that location when I first moved to the neighborhood in 1985, but have a more vivid recollection of the Red Apple Chinese restaurant that occupied it for at least fifteen years in between the flower shop and the real estate office.

There is no mention of Vaccarino's online, but I did come across an ad in a special publication on the occasion of the 9th Annual Dinner Dance held on November 7th, 1980 by the Independent Neighborhood Democrats.
We would love to hear from Carroll Gardens who remember Vaccarino's.

*For those keeping track, Douglas Elliman relocated to 327 Smith Street to the former American Apparel store.

I was a regular at Vaccarino's. I've seen the owner a couple of times in Chic and around the neighborhood.
