El Greco Diner, at 1821 Emmons Ave. in Sheepshead Bay, may be closing down soon. Prudential Douglas Elliman broker Diane Kramer confirmed that a contract on the one-acre waterfront site has been signed, but wouldn’t name the buyer or its sales price. It’s been listed for $23 million as a potential development site zoned for low-density residential with a commercial overlay.





Why, God…WHY??? The development peeps better stay away from my Clements, or else there will be H-E-L-L to pay!

Good News for the Foursome Diner opening on Nostrand I guess.

I heard rumors about that for a while. More condos coming in I think.. Who needs businesses on emmons ave when you can have wall to wall “luxury condos”. Sickening.
But then again.. that diner does kinda suck – as do most of the diners in brooklyn (sadly).

Another one bites the dust. Almost all diners are gone around here even the one off the belt by Cropsey Ave.
I wish the Foursome would have gotten a bigger location. Its kinda small over there and parking stinks to boot.
Anyone know what ‘retail stores’ are going to be on Gerritsen and U? By Donalson’s old gas station? Maybe another Svetlana nail salon.

My guess is since an up-scaled Mall is about to open in that area, more Russians will want to live nearby. Afterall, shopping is what they live for. Yes, I agree more condos will go up for these ——- Russkies.

Many years ago, El Greco used to be a great place to eat with excellent service and good food. That was until the Russians come in.

El Greco used to be our favorite restaurant for lunches. A lot of restaurants in that area were very good, but since immigrants have invaded this area, quality and service have gone down hill. El Greco, rest in peace.

What do immigrant patrons have to do with the quality of food & service in any given establishment? The clientelle is different not the business?

It about time that this 1980′s relic is replaced by a high quality Russian Resturant and mall catering to the new rich in this area. After all, without our spending, SB would be just like Coney Island

MMM, your spending? Is that after the food stamps, section eight housing and medicaid assistance that is offered to you and your elderly/sickly relatives that follow you to America?

Yeah, thats pretty funny. The only reason my family doesn’t spend money down there anymore is because we don’t like being pushed or have people talking about you right in front of you in a foreign language. Did you know that they can buy caviar with food stamps? I almost died one day in the supermarket when the cashier unlocked the case containing the very expensive caviar and the guy paid in food stamps. When its all said and done, half our paychecks go to taxes that support this crap.

Unbelievable! What are you all complaining about! The kids and grandchildren of those elderly do so much for this country in return! Everything is about money for you guys. Stop thinking about money, everyone spends money in this country, unless you want everything to be so damn equal with spending, you might as well be communists.

I am laughing so hard. When my mother’s parents came here from Russia in 1914, it was different. There were no food stamps, welfare, etc. They came here to a free country, to better their lives, unlike today, where they come with riches. Did you ever see the jewelry they wear? Wish I could afford it myself!
Well-loved. Like or Dislike:

El Greco has the lousiest service in the world. They get the orders wrong, and 2 days ago, ther were no more than 3 customers in the whole place, and after 30 minutes, I complained and walked out. This has happened before. Shame on me for coming back
