Just a few blocks apart, these new spots aim to serve the neighborhood with thoughtful menus, warm atmospheres, and strong local ties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Say Bonjour to Badaboom<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opening this week at 421 Bainbridge St., on the corner of Howard Avenue, Badaboom is a new French-inspired restaurant focusing on rotisserie chicken and elevated comfort food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Behind the project are <\/span><b>Henry Glucroft<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, known for Bushwick\u2019s <\/span><b>Henry\u2019s Wine and Spirits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Sunrise\/Sunset<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><b>Charles Gerbier<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who recently opened the nearby wine bar <\/span><b>Frog<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The pair, both neighborhood residents, say they want Badaboom to fill a void in the area\u2019s sit-down dining options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The restaurant will start with dinner service Wednesday through Sunday, led by a former chef from <\/span><b>Place des F\u00eates<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Oxomoco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While the rotisserie chicken takes center stage, the menu will also feature steak frites, fish dishes, vegetarian options, and seasonal sides. Appetizers will range from $10 to $20, and entrees will be priced from $25 to $45. Beer and wine, mainly French, round out the drink menu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glucroft said they\u2019re aren\u2019t doing anything too adventurous. They just want to make \u201cgood food that we\u2019re hoping the neighborhood can say, \u2018Man, I just want to go out for a nice steak frites, I just want a good meal close to home,\u2019 kind of hitting that spot,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Badaboom\u2019s new look includes a bright blue exterior and a tiled entrance bearing the restaurant\u2019s name, transforming what was once a shuttered deli into a welcoming corner bistro.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet Dolores, the Cantina with Heart<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just west at 397 Tompkins Ave., on the corner of Jefferson Avenue, Dolores is preparing to open by the end of the month. The cantina is the latest project from <\/span><b>Cressida Greening<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Emir Dupeyron<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the couple behind <\/span><b>Winona\u2019s<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, along with bar director <\/span><b>Leanne Favre<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dolores draws inspiration from the casual, spirited cantinas of Dupeyron\u2019s native Mexico City. The name honors his great-grandmother, Dolores, while also playing on the Spanish word dolor \u2014 pain \u2014 a nod to the cantina as a place to unwind and decompress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The menu centers around tacos and small plates, with highlights like \u201cEl Rey,\u201d a carne asada taco on a flour tortilla from Caramelo. Expect tacos de lengua, tacos del d\u00eda, bar snacks, and daily guisados, or braised stews. Cocktails will feature mezcal and other agave spirits, with drinks around $16 and food prices from $5 to $25.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greening said they want it to feel truly local, which is why they\u2019re not doing reservations. They all live in Bed-Stuy and they want this place to be for Bed-Stuy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dolores will open with dinner service from 4 p.m. to midnight, Wednesday through Sunday, with plans to expand to seven days a week and add brunch. The space was formerly home to <\/span><b>Oddly Enough<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which closed in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Culinary Surge for Summer and Fall<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Badaboom and Dolores are part of a broader wave of restaurant openings in Bed-Stuy and Ocean Hill this summer and fall. Another newcomer, <\/span><b>Olmo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, also nods to Mexico City, though it skips tacos entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together, these new restaurants highlight a growing trend: locally owned, globally inspired dining experiences that are made with the neighborhood in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bed-Stuy\u2019s dining scene is about to get even more vibrant with the arrival of two highly anticipated restaurants: Badaboom and Dolores.
