606 R&D is Open for Dinner on Vanderbilt Avenue

Posted on January 28, 2012 by admin

606 R&D is open for dinner as of last night. This is the place at 606 Vanderbilt (between St. Marks and Prospect) that’s owned by two former City Bakery people. Early reports are that the food is great and the prices are reasonable. For the moment, they’re just open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday but will expand hours starting in February. Website with menu here: http://606vanderbiltbklyn.com/ and a first look at 606 R&D from Time Out New York makes it look very promising.
