headcheese nuggets? I eat McNuggets so I shouldn't be grossed out. But I am.

The menu does sound a lil snobby. Sign me up for one of them baby chickens in a beer can!

Did anyone else get hijacked on that posted link? Flashed what may have been the original story then flashed over to a possible forced download/trojan something or another type screen about hard drives. Just... be careful with that.

havent been to good dog in a long time, but from my recollection this is a much more eclectic menu. wouldn't call it snobby. its still a gastropub, not fine dining. This is a much needed establishment and will be an anchor for the hood.

Exactly. And, to those who might think the menu is snobby; fine with me. One less person I have to fight with to claim my bar stool - LOL

That happened to me on another NYMag (like Grubstreet ) owned property yesterday as well. They must have had some bad ads that are doing their hijacking.

The brunch menu looks delicious. The dinner menu is just a little too out of my comfort zone. Anyone know if there will be outside seating?

I would prefer if it had more of the Br and less of the unch.

Something tells me that neither menu posted above is complete ... just some unique highlights. I can't imagine a venue owned by GOOD DOG not offering burgers, etc ...

As for seating - the Witch had it, so I'll assume it's in the zoning and licensing ... and I can't imagine the owners not wanting to take advantage of both the sidewalk space AND the free publicity for all those driving by (noticing a busy outdoor dining space)...

I was told last night 6 weeks to opening.

Ding Dong - The Witch is officially dead.

The Witch signage is coming down now.

Newspapers on the window to cover up work on the inside too.

There's been lots of activity here lately; power tools buzzing inside and the exterior has been painted (see pic). I'm so excited it's going to be a decent place! The Witch was so infuriatingly awful...

Does anyone know an approximate open date?

The new owners will be at the Pennsport Civic Association meeting tomorrow (5/9/12) at 7pm at EOM, 138 Moore Street.

i am so excited for this place to open! WOOHOO! Also, the space at dickinson and s. 3rd st/moya has been for rent for quite some time. Would be nice to have some kind of gourmet/prepared foods sort of place..
