Annicka (544 Manhattan Ave) has temporarily closed, after recently ending weekday breakfast and lunch service (though they remained open for daytime coffee and pastries, and dinner). The restaurant, launched by Greenpoint Beer & Ale and North Brooklyn Farms, has been open since the beginning of the year and was serving up farm-to-table cuisine with a vegetable slant. If we had to guess, it’s likely they will re-open with a new menu and possibly a new culinary direction.
also Bar Glory closed.
