We have a lot of goodbyes this week, from Polish diners to party brunch spots. Don’t despair, though, since there are lots of good things coming to the borough as well. We welcome several new Mexican spots, a boardgames cafe, and an ice cream parlor with swings inside. ### Openings: **Bedford Stuyvesant** ### [Boca Santa](https://www.bocasantanyc.com/?ref=bklyner.com) *480 Madison Street, between Throop Avenue and Marcus Garvey Boulevard.* > [](https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qwjFuhdDJ/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fcampaign=loading) > > [](https://www.instagram.com/p/B5qwjFuhdDJ/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fcampaign=loading) This Bed-Stuy restaurant opened last month.

A tipster reported that the spot closed early this month, after [reports](https://brooklyneagle.com/articles/2019/09/11/teresas-the-beloved-brooklyn-heights-eatery-is-up-for-rent/?ref=bklyner.com) earlier last year about owners wanting to put the restaurant up for rent. **Cobble Hill** ### Watty and Meg *248 Court Street, between Kane and Baltic streets.* Pardon Me For Asking [reports](https://pardonmeforasking.blogspot.com/2020/01/thank-you-for-memories-court-streets.html?fbclid=IwAR1TyjL7tbIfrmpYwJrahLx7rUEJSGQ56HNWXJkjlTnzWQYbBf0Udnn4o7s&ref=bklyner.com) that Cobble Hill’s Watty and Meg has closed its doors after 12 years, as of the first of this month. The restaurant also announced its closure through a sign on the door, writing that the news was delivered with “a heavy heart”. **Park Slope** ### Seed *242 5th Avenue, between President and Carroll Streets.* Seed announced its closure to Park Slope neighbors with a sign on their door in December. “We can’t thank our customers and this wonderful community enough for the support over the past four years,” the sign read, calling the goodbye “bittersweet”. ### [Woodland](https://www.woodland.nyc/?ref=bklyner.com) *242 Flatbush Avenue, between St. Marks Avenue and Bergen Street.* > [](https://www.instagram.com/p/B6%5FvA9-Hi0d/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fcampaign=loading) > > [](https://www.instagram.com/p/B6%5FvA9-Hi0d/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed&utm%5Fcampaign=loading) After a long fight, [protests](/protesters-rallied-ahead-of-woodland-hearing-on-wednesday/), and many [SLA hearings](/details-on-woodlands-liquor-license/), Woodland has finally closed its doors for good, Eater [reports](https://ny.eater.com/2020/1/7/21054894/woodland-bar-park-slope-closed-liquor-license?ref=bklyner.com). Owner Akiva Ofshtein had previously [told Bklyner](/protesters-rallied-ahead-of-woodland-hearing-on-wednesday/) that he felt the complaints against his restaurant were due to his primarily “African-American and Caribbean-American clientele,” and received assistance from the Black Institute prior to closing. Despite this, the brunch spot eventually lost the fight for their liquor license and could not survive without it. **Red Hook** ### [Grindhaus](http://www.grindhausnyc.com/?ref=bklyner.com) *275 Van Brunt Street, between Visitation Place and Pioneer Street.* Grindhaus announced to their Instagram followers that their last day of business would be this Valentine’s Day. In the meantime, they’re hosting a Michelin-starred chef at the restaurant from the 24th-27th of January, and are encouraging guests to make reservations for both those special nights and their final bow.
