The opening of Vinzee's Magic Fountain, the new hamburger joint coming to 408-412 Court Street, was delayed when the renovation of the space was halted by the NYC Department of Building with a stop work order. That has now been lifted and it probably won't be long before the place will open its doors. And just in the last few days, a sign has been put up.

Reader Jeff S. sent me the photos above and wrote : "My wife and I were just out for a walk and noticed Vinzee's Magic Fountain has hung up a sign. It truly looks ... "magical"?"
That sign does look a bit hokey. Many of you readers weren't wild about the name of the place last time I posted about it and quite a few commented on the stark white façade.

According to its facebook page, "Vinzee’s Magic Fountain is a fast casual restaurant with an American style cuisine and wonderful ice cream desserts! We use fresh ingredients provided by local distributors and our products are all eco-friendly."
No menu has been posted yet.

Though a stop work order involving the side courtyard has yet to be lifted by the NYC D.o.B, the new owner of the restaurant at 412 Court Street, on the corner of First Place, obviously feels confident that he will be able to open soon.

Vinzee's Magic Fountain, as the new burger joint will be called, already has a web site, a Facebook page and a Twitter account.
And according to a flier which appeared in the window recently, the eatery is now hiring.
Better get that issue with DoB resolved soon....

The space was occupied until recently by a laundromat and by 'Magic Fountain,' an ice-cream place that I never saw anyone go into.
