If your mouth is watering for a big, juicy roast beef sandwich, you only have one more week until you can sink your teeth into some processed meat... Arby's opens inside of the gorgeous Gage & Tollner space next Thursday! For almost a year now there's been chatter about the fast food joint taking over the landmarked space — many opposed to the franchise moving in to such fancy digs for its first outpost in the borough.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission eventually gave the franchise owner's their approval, however — mostly insisting that the gas lamps and wall-length mirrors stay put.
So fight it no longer, people: it's happening. The Brooklyn Eagle reports that there will be a soft opening at the 372-374 Fulton Street space on January 21st. This will be followed by a more formal opening weeks later. Can a place that offers "Horsey Sauce" really host a soft or formal opening?
