OPENINGS

Brooklyn Carreta Bar & Carts
This sleek new cart pod and bar takes its name from La Carreta, the restaurant that was formerly on the site it occupies on SE McLoughlin Boulevard. The pod is in its soft opening phase: a handful of carts—Bollywood Dhaba, Havana Station, Milwaukie Cafe, Nour Thai, and Rollin’ Fresh—are now open with several more opening in the coming weeks.  The bar slings fishbowl margaritas, Tang slushies, and Push x Pull espresso martinis.
