They now have flank steak, for a decent 7.99 a pound. I'm lovin' it.
The reason why I'm a fan of this place so far (it just opened yesterday) is that it's the first nice market in downtown Brooklyn in a while, before my time. It's something that is desperately needed. So, I'm a bit biased in this review.
There will be a Concord Village grocery opening up on Jay and Tillary as well; it's a good location considering the crux of people on the north side of downtown.
While I'm not sure how it will compared to the Key Foods and Trader Joe's, and to a lesser extent, the Pathmark, the Brooklyn Fare is serviceable and the added value being closer to home. It's not quite as big as I expected, but the produce for the most part is fresh (the scallions weren't doing so well) and enticing due to their prices.
With a small section of seafood and some nice hunks of meat (but no flank steak?), for a younger crowd that won't be purchasing an inordinate amount of food, it's a good fit. For families I wouldn't suggest it.
What's nice about it is the pastry section and the prepared foods/deli that are almost to the level of Garden of Eden.
The other thing about this place is that they are supposedly rolling out additions to the place (right now it's certainly operational but it could be beefed up, although it has everything I need).
Visitors get a couple of cards that include 10 dollars off a purchase of 100 dollars or more, a free cup of coffee with a pastry purchase I believe (check that).
All in all, a promising addition to the area that really needed something like this.
