Sips ‘N Bites Opening Soon On Prospect & 7th

A new Italian restaurant is replacing another one that closed a few months ago on the corner of Prospect and 7th Avenues.

Sips ‘N Bites will open on Saturday, September 13 at 364 Prospect Avenue, and neighbors are invited to stop by from 5:30-10pm for a free taste of what they’ll be dishing up (though the drinks you’ll have to pay for, and you can continue drinking through midnight at the bar).

The space was previously home to Feluccio, which closed earlier this year. At the time, a couple of you noted the difficulty that restaurant may have had difficulty because of its proximity to another Italian joint — Giovanni’s is just a block away on 8th Ave.

The menu shows that they’ll have fairly affordable pasta dishes — you choose the type of pasta (including whole wheat or gluten-free) and sauce for $9 — plus panini ($7-$8), pizzas ($12-$20), and more.

Once PS 10 lets out across the street, this can be a bit of a sleepy corner, but a nice neighborhood joint is always welcome. So stop by next weekend, try them out, and welcome them to the area!
