Vinzee's, Carroll Gardens' Newest Hamburger Joint, Finally Opens On Court Street

After a few delays, Vinzee's Magic Fountain at 412 Court Street on the corner of First Place, finally opened this past week-end. Much anticipated (and criticized for its name and white stucco façade,) the eatery's opening coincided with filming of scenes from "Men In Black 3."

One reader wrote in to tell me: "Guess they thought it would be a good night for an opening, what with all the neighborhood out and about, gawping at the Hollywood-style action going on."

According to it's web site and Facebook page, the 'fast casual restaurant' offers an American-style menu made from "fresh ingredients provided by local distributors and our products are all eco-friendly." A few in the neighborhood tried it and reported back that the food was all right. One resident was disappointed that the place looked more like a fast food, take-out joint rather than a place to actually sit down for dinner.

Did you try it yet? How was it?

Despite Stop-Work Order, Vinzee's Magic Fountain, Court Street's Newest Hamburger Joint, Inching Closer To Grand Opening

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.
