2) Gowanus: Signage is up at Fletcher's Brooklyn Barbecue, the new operation coming to 433 Third Ave in South Brooklyn by "BBQ Billy" Fletcher. According to a tipster, the interior is starting to come along nicely, so this opening should not be far off. [PLYWOOD]

3) Tribeca: A liquor license notice went up on the door of a space at West Broadway and White Street, which Tribeca Citizen learns is a new location of the West Village wine bar Aria. As of Monday, the deal was not 100 percent certain, but it looks likely. [Tribeca Citizen]
4) Greenpoint: Following the lead of Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, Sarah Conklin plans to open a new Mediterranean restaurant on Commercial Street near the lovely Newtown Creek. She hopes for the restaurant to be both a destination for New Yorkers and a better food option for the cast and crew of Boardwalk Empire, which films nearby. [DNAinfo]

6) Bowling Green: The food truck and sandwich shop Shorty's is getting set to open a new location at 62 Pearl St. The mini-chain has locations in Midtown and Flatiron and will now bring its menu of cheese steaks and roast beef pork sandwiches, massive beer list, and "whiskey wall" to this downtown space.
