Is Bay Ridge Ready For A Wine Bar?
Bay Ridge has a lot of bars. But until recently it didn’t have an attractive wine bar that serves locally sourced foods: chocolate from the Mast Bros., sweets from Brooklyn Treat Shoppe, cheese from Stinky Brooklyn, provisions from D. Coluccio & Sons, and beers from Sixpoint. Until, that is, artist (and Brooklyn native) John Avelluto and gallerist Steve Weintraub teamed up to open The Owl’s Head. “The difference has been our atmosphere,” Avelluto tells us. “Low music, no television and a cozy space allow for conversation to take place—the perfect platform to present interesting products and educate patrons about these items that we have taken much care to curate. 479 74th Street, Bay Ridge
