Stone Park Cafe,
which opened in September 2004, is the longtime dream of owners Josh Foster
and Josh Grinker, childhood friends who grew up together in Park Slope.
Together, along with Tracy Young of Philadelphia, they turned a run down
bodega on Park Slope’s “Restaurant Row” into a contemporary
American restaurant with a full bar, sidewalk patio, and a casual neighborhood
atmosphere.
Before opening Stone Park, Foster, Grinker and Young worked in some of
the region’s top restaurants, notably Tribeca Grill, River Café
and Le Bec Fin. |
“We
wanted Stone Park Cafe to offer value, comfort, and superb food
for diners in Park Slope and for anyone who wants to experience
the heart and soul of Brooklyn. Our aim is to raise the bar in Brooklyn,
using our collective background in some of the city’s finest
restaurants to create a dining experience that is casual and unpretentious,
focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients, served in a comfortable
neighborhood environment at an affordable price.” -
