Here's your Brooklyn Dumpling Shop signage



The signage arrived — as you can tell — for Brooklyn Dumpling Shop yesterday on the southwest corner of First Avenue and St. Mark's Place...



Owner Stratis Morfogen, the founder of Philippe Chow in Chinatown and Brooklyn Chop House in the Financial District, is taking an automat-type approach to the shop... as noted last week, patrons can choose from their 32 varieties of dumplings via an 11-foot-high wall of lockers.

And in this COVID-19 era, a single greeter wearing a face covering and gloves "will beckon customers through a device that’s able to scan body temperatures," as the Post reported.

BDS is expected to open in July here in the renovated space that was Foot Gear Plus for 40 years.

Thanks to Steven for the photos!

The font is twirling its mustache at me

“Renovated” space, Grieve? Might be the understatement of the year. :)

I hope there's a corresponding East Village Dumpling Shop in Brooklyn

Dystopian dining for the neosatanic crowd

Even better news, that Dumpling Man is open again just down the way!

I can't think of anything witty... said...

The 'P' in the word shop is also horribly mis-aligned. You can't really tell from the angle of the picture, but it looks pretty awful in person. As someone with OCD it drives me crazy.
