Brooklyn Restaurant Gertie Is Closing in WIlliamburg | Eater NY

"The restaurant is closing this summer, with its last day in Williamsburg at 357 Grand Street at Marcy Avenue on Sunday, June 15. The Instagram announcement describes the shutter as "season finale, not a series finale." Co-owners Nate Adler and Rachel Jackson are looking for a new location for the restaurant, ideally near their other Brooklyn restaurant, Jewish American bistro Gertrude’s (which is run with chef and restaurant industry meme-maker Eli Sussman). Adler took his cues from Los Angeles all-day cafes such as Gjelina, but New York sensibilities, when the restaurant opened in 2019; its modern Jewish menu includes dishes like chicken schnitzel with challah, bagels, latkes, and more. Former Eater critic Ryan Sutton called it a “vital” addition to the NYC neighborhood dining scene and described it as mimicking “the sunny ethos of Los Angeles while also acting as a neo-nostalgia factory for classic New York specialties.” The restaurant also won Eater New York’s Eater Award for best design of that year." - Nadia Chaudhury
