CityMD To Open Location In Original El Gran Castillo Space On Flatbush Avenue

If you’re on the north end of the neighborhood and you need a doctor quick, you’re about to get a new option when an urgent care center opens on Flatbush Avenue.

CityMD, the chain of urgent care clinics with locations around New York City — including one already in our area, on 5th Avenue between 7th and 8th Streets — will be adding an outpost at 345-347 Flatbush Avenue, on the corner of Carlton Avenue, according to its website.

This space was most recently occupied by El Gran Castillo De Jagua, the Dominican restaurant that moved last year to 355 Flatbush Avenue after nearly 40 years on this corner because the landlord reportedly did not renew their lease.

Permits have been filed for construction to convert it from a restaurant, though a rep from CityMD was unable to give us an expected opening date.
