Sailor and Red Hook Tavern Are Expanding in Brooklyn | Eater NY

"Located in Fort Greene, the restaurant announced it will take over the adjacent storefront on Dekalb Avenue (a former slice shop) for an expansion; the space is slim, probably only fit for a small bar with a few seats, a takeout area, or an extended private dining room. The news follows the announcement that its star chef, April Bloomfield, who has run the restaurant alongside restaurateur Gabriel Stulman since its opening in 2023, would be making the unusual leap of heading up a hospitality group in Austin; Bloomfield will retain involvement in the restaurant and has since installed Skylar Mosca as executive chef. Mosca recently participated in a culinary series that gives back-of-house folks a platform and resources to plan their dream pop-up restaurant. The spot was the first Brooklyn restaurant in Stulman’s Happy Cooking Hospitality group, which is known in Manhattan for places like Joseph Leonard (an oyster bar) and Fairfax (a West Village brunch staple), and demand for more seats at the restaurant was instant." - Emma Orlow
