WILLIAMSBURG’S CENTURY-OLD KELLOG’S DINER TRANSFORMING INTO TEX-MEX
WILLIAMSBURG — THE 96-YEAR-OLD KELLOG’S DINER IN WILLIAMSBURG, which has been operating on the corner of Metropolitan and Union avenues since 1928, is turning into an all-night Tex-Mex restaurant with food and cocktails, Eater reports. The bankrupt diner has been sold to Louis Skibar, who owns the Manhattan diners Coppelia and Old John’s, and it will be run by Jackie Carnesi, an alum of the Brooklyn restaurants Nura and Roberta’s. Kellog’s will close soon for renovations and reopen in February. Its retro dining room is getting an update that includes a new cocktail bar, Skibar told Eater.
In the meantime, Kellogg’s is open with a shorter menu that has steak frites, smash burgers, chicken pot pie and more.
