Chef Greg Baxtrom announced the closure of his restaurant Olmsted in Prospect Heights after nearly a decade of operation. The space had been quietly advertised earlier and Baxtrom noted that the restaurant was perceived as a special-occasion spot, which hindered consistent patronage. The broader area has seen a rise in restaurants, but closures are also increasing, with many establishments shutting down, highlighting a potential decline in the neighborhood's ability to support high-end dining options.
"It's very flattering that people want to celebrate with us, but we fought tooth and nail to be as neighborhood-friendly as possible."
"There has been such a tremendous change, not just in Brooklyn, but in this little spot."
