Hudson Jane Brings Gramercy Tavern Chef To Fort Greene

FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN — The neighborhood just got a new all-day eatery and wine bar with a Gramercy Tavern chef at the helm.

Hudson Jane, which opened Monday at 360 Myrtle Ave., has it all, it would seem. A cafe counter that offers quick food and coffee to to go? Check. A sit-down restaurant that functions as a wine and (wine) cocktail bar at night? Check. Breakfast, lunch and dinner? Check, check and check.

You can scope out Hudson Jane for yourself pretty much any time, since it’s open seven days a week — Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Until then, here is what the critics are saying:

Eater NY: “Fort Greene’s new Hudson Jane goes against the grain for its lack of gimmicks. This all-day cafe from partners Jen LaPorta and chef Megan Johnson (Gramercy Tavern, Casellula) is just an old-fashioned restaurant with breakfast through dinner, plus a grab-and-go retail section.”

Grub Street: “You can’t open a restaurant these days — even a seemingly health-minded, Greenmarket-y kind of restaurant — without throwing an Instagram bone to the stunt-food mob. Case in point is Hudson Jane, a new all-day American comfort-food restaurant, wine bar, and prepared-foods takeout shop in Fort Greene, where among the lacto-fermented dilly beans and vegan breakfast burritos you will find a sandwich called the Double Brown. A Double Brown is a sort of souped-up BLT with a sunny-side egg and Aleppo pepper aïoli served between two hash-brown patties in place of toast.”

Gothamist: “There are few who wouldn't answer the siren's call of a well-fried hash brown, and if stunt foods are here to stay they may as well be made by a former Gramercy Tavern chef. The all-day restaurant serves a number of fun dishes in line with their "life's too short to eat sh*tty food!" motto.”
