Burger Joint With Exotic Meats Coming To Livingston Street

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN, BROOKLYN — Brooklynites wondering what elk, ostrich and boar taste like are in luck. An organic burger restaurant that features exotic meat options is making its way to the border of Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene.

Burger Village, a Long Island-based eatery that also has a spot on 7th Avenue, has signed a lease for one of the retail spots at luxury apartment complex 33 Bond Street. The restaurant will also be joined by Neighborhood Cut and Shave, a barber shop with three other New York City locations, the real estate developers announced.

Both will have a 300 Livingston Street retail address.

“We are thrilled to welcome Neighborhood Cut and Shave and Burger Village to 33 Bond Street, adding to the vibrant retail we have curated in partnership with Winick at the building...We are bringing great new amenities to Downtown Brooklyn for our residents and neighbors,” said Steve Gonzalez, head of retail leasing with developers TF Cornerstone.

The burger spot, set to open this summer, offers traditional beef burgers as well as everything from turkey to elk, wild boar and lamb. The menu also features options for vegan, vegetarian or gluten free diners, including black bean and mushroom patties and veggie patties.

Their all-organic, antibiotic and hormone free menu also offers fries, salads, soups, shakes and desserts, according to the website.

Both retailers will be added to the ground floor of 33 Bond Street, a 714-unit luxury residential building.

“The retail at 300 Livingston Street offers an incredible opportunity for these incoming retailers,” said Winick Realty Group Director Daniyel Cohen. “With access to public transportation, as well as the many development projects underway—including the nearby Ace Hotel and 9 Dekalb, anticipated to be Brooklyn’s tallest building—their potential clientele grows almost weekly.”
