The two guys who run BG are Jason and John. They're buddies who met at Brooklyn College, and both of them grew up around here. I love it when you ask a true Brooklynite where they grew up and they tell you their High School! So if you must know, Midwood and Erasmus respectively. This is their first venture, and I couldn't wish them weller. Below is a decent photo I got off the web, and below that is me surprising Jason when he was probably sleeping because he's been working non-stop to get this place open:

Cool! Looks great!
Awesome! I've been waiting for a fresh juice place to open around here. And it's next to the new Bikram Yoga studio!
Good luck to them! Juice is healthier but I admit I was super excited about tacos. Oh well. Most or all of PLG's newer businesses are being opened by locals right? Or in the case of Enduro-exEnduro business owners, they come from a restaurant that has been here several years and stay because they got to know the locals and like us. That's not gentrification in the way other neighborhoods have seen it. This is due to the improved neighborhood economic development and boosterism bringing business opportunities to people who live here. Not to say that won't change, outside businesses will follow local indie ones that open here, but I think it's cool and something to celebrate and support.
The taco place is just moving to across the street. To open in a couple months, I believe.
Just had a visited Brooklyn Greenery. Cool guys, really delicious juice = win, win!
Welcome to to neighborhood.
I thought I was Geuros not Oaxaca. Gueros is amazing. Oaxaca is not.
yeah, unless Oaxaca does something radically different here, those are not good tacos. Gueros are good tacos.
Man that store always getting shut down, it was a smoothie shop before and I can't remember what it was before that but good luck to them!
