Nili [Official]
Three years after opening acclaimed Middle Eastern restaurant Miss Ada, chef and owner Tomer Blechman is headed in a more casual direction. His second act, a corner cafe and coffee shop called Nili, is set to open its doors at 360 Smith Street, at Second Place, in Carroll Gardens on Monday.
Nili is the “coffee nerd” sibling to Miss Ada, says Blechman, a place where residents in the neighborhood can pick up a coffee on their way into the subway, or grab a loaf of bread on the way home from work. “I missed having something quick and healthy to take on the subway with me,” Blechman says. “There isn’t a lot of that here.”
