Santo Brúklin: Amidst A Pandemic, A Brazilian Restaurant Opens In Carroll Gardens

Operating a restaurant during a pandemic in New York City is hard enough, but how about opening a new one?  That is the position Santo Brúklin faced in early March, just as the City went into lock-down mode. The Brazilian eatery, which took over the former 'Sloteria' space on Court Street between West 9th Street and Garnet Street in Carroll Gardens, decided to move ahead with its launch by shifting gears to offer food and drink take-out service. They modified their menu "to fit the needs of the community amongst the recent Covid-19 outbreak," and according to the Yelp reviews, their service and the food is solid. Especially the to-go drinks.

The restaurant's owners would like the community to know that they are not a corporation. "We are not a chain business. Santo Brúklin is a small family owned restaurant, created by real people. Just like you. We are pursuing our dream and doing what we love. We hope that you
will love it too."
To show that they are here to serve the community,  the owners offer "10 complimentary 'Family Meals' from 8pm to 9pm every day for pickup. No questions asked, for Our Neighbors in need."

That kind of commitment to the neighborhood should be acknowledged, Give them a try next time you order food and welcome them to Carroll Gardens.
