"Ocean Hill: Love, Nelly, a Columbian bakery known for its empanadas, changed its name to Butter & Scotch Luncheonette at the start of the year, a revival of sorts for a boozy bakery the owners used to run in Crown Heights. The pivot was followed by an abrupt announcement that March would be the last month for the new Butter & Scotch, which recently appeared in a feature story about modern lunch counters on Eater." - Luke Fortney
"Crown Heights bar and bakery Butter & Scotch closed in 2020, and the team went on to open a Bed-Stuy spot called Love, Nelly, with a focus on empanadas and Colombian sweets." - Emma Orlow
"The empanadas here are a must. This colorful blue, white, pink, and yellow Colombian bakery in East Bushwick serves cakes, raspas (snow cones), and cookies too. In addition to the olive-stuffed beef empanadas, there’s also the cheesy “kolache” empanada, chickpea, and plantain and guava varieties, plus gluten-free and vegan options. The sweet offerings rotate often, and I am personally here for the super moist plantain, cardamom, and black pepper bread and chocolate tres leches cakes when they’re available." - Marisel Salazar
"Dirt Candy, Amanda Cohen’s vegan tasting menu restaurant, eliminated tipping from its dining room in February 2015, while Brooklyn businesses Kit and Love, Nelly have both operated without tips since opening during the pandemic." - Luke Fortney
"Stephanie Gallardo, co-owner Love, Nelly, closed her Bushwick bakery early on Wednesday after a member of her staff tested positive." - Luke Fortney
