Armando’s, a Brooklyn Heights Italian eatery, will be reopening in three months. According to the Daily News, the 72-year-old restaurant, will return to its original location on Montague Street. The restaurant closed last March and the Spicy Pickle, a Denver-based sandwich chain, opened in its place last August.
Spicy Pickle defaulted on its lease and quickly closed last Friday. The reopening is an indicator of a reversal of the trend to bring in big national chain stores, now being replaced in this neighborhood with locally based “mom-and-pop” shops. Armando’s Restaurant will plug in its well known neon lobster sign, and is sure to bring the light back to the Montague Street landscape.
