Future Home of Bogota Bistro

After months and months of searching throughout Fort Greene, Prospect Heights and Park Slope, meeting with numerous real estate sharks, umm, we mean agents, looking at dozens of spaces, paying attorney fees on lease negotations that fell through, and being outbid on spaces we fell in love with, we finally have a home: the former Fifth Avenue Committee space (which is now situated on 4th Avenue and Degraw). We'll be on what is becoming the hottest strip in Park Slope alongside neighbhorhood hotspots Nana, The Chocolate Room, The Total Wine Bar, Brooklyn Fish Camp, Pollitos, Guerilla Coffee and the Surreal Cafe. We're also very pleased that we're friends and neighbors with the other winner of the Brooklyn Business Library's PowerUP Business Plan Competition: Yogasana. Oh yeah. You can say it was all worth the effort and wait. Very worth it.
