Hungry Ghost Opening New Spot In Fort Greene Food Hall

FORT GREENE, NY — The Brooklyn-based coffee-chain Hungry Ghost plans to take over space inside a Fort Greene food market that shuttered more than half of its vendors earlier this year.

Hungry Ghost will open their third location in the neighborhood in the Gotham Market at the Ashland, 590 Fulton St., later this year, a spokeswoman for the owner said. The spot will be the company's first all-day shop.

The Gotham Market first opened in 2017 on the ground-floor of the luxury high rise The Ashland, but nixed four of their six eateries nearly a year after opening, including anchor-tenant the Mason Jar.

A new beer hall with nearly two dozen taps serving up wings, burgers and nachos plans to take over for the Mason Jar, Eater reported.

Hungry Ghost will join the food hall in April with a 425-square-foot space that will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., a spokeswoman said. The new outpost also plans to have an extended menu and new dessert options.

The chain was started by Murat Uyaroglu in 2012 with a shop in Prospect Heights then expanded to other spots in Brooklyn and Manhattan. They opened their first Fort Greene location at 781 Fulton St. in 2013 and the second on the ground-floor of the luxury tower DKLB BKLYN in January.
