My Little India is a furniture store at 96 South Elliott Place, corner of Fulton Street in Fort Greene. They have been around for a few years and although I have never been able to afford any of their India-imported furniture, I have always enjoyed walking through the store. The rumor mill has it that their rent was tripled. They are liquidating everything at 50% and there are 4 days left.
A friend of mine who used to work at Il Torchio (now Anima), calls my practice of hopping from spot to spot when I come back from a long day’s work in Manhattan “the Myrtle Shuffle”. A beer here, a burger there but lots of love everywhere. I’ve lived in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill for 11 years, 4 of which have been on Myrtle.
Last summer (07), I watched a critical mass of restaurants and businesses pile onto the avenue. Now my friends have a hard time peeling me off of what was once “Murder Avenue”. I have been a blogger for a while now and I thought I’d start sharing my Myrtle adventures.
The wider playground is all of Fort Greene/Clinton Hill.
