The restaurant, now with eight locations around the city, will call 278 Fifth Street its Park Slope home. The eatery first announced plans to move into the site in May 2012, but building permits delays kept the spot dark, DNAinfo reported.

The restaurant has yet to secure a liquor license, however, according to a sign in the window cited by DNAinfo. [DNAinfo]Julie Strickland
