What was once old is all new again in the form of Caraville Glatt, the “Home of the New Essex.” When news broke that the the owners of Essex of Coney Downtown, Julian Whiteman and son Meyer, took over Caraville, the Brooklyn dining community could not have been more excited. While it was sad to see Harry Rasp, the original owner of Essex on Coney close the Coney Island Avenue store at the end of 2007, it allowed Julian and Meyer to retain the name and concept- delicious, family-friendly food.
And when the opportunity came along to take over the long time established Caraville, the pieces just fit perfectly - they simply could not turn it down. Julian and Meyer’s goal is to cater to the former customers of Essex on Coney as well as the future customers of Caraville Glatt.
The restaurant, which recently opened in the beginning of 2008, is a spacious establishment with many accommodations to benefit their customers. When you first walk in, there is a long counter with all your favorite deli selections. Cushioned and private booths are to your left and to your right is a beautiful, large room, featuring a sushi bar and a full beer and wine bar. Two additional large dining rooms are located to your far left and far back which, depending on the circumstance, will
be used for both in house dining or on premise catering.
The trademark Essex specialties combined with the classy decor and wide space for seating, allow for both large families and those couples looking for fine dining to be very satisfied. Of course, their menu features all their well known fare, like kishke, hot open deli sandwiches, Bison Burgers and Stuffed Cabbage, but they also offer higher end items such as Chicken portabella and 40oz. Rib Steaks. With a great tradition under their wings, the future of Caraville Glatt, “Home of the New Essex” looks as bright as ever. |
