'New American' Cuisine Set to Debut In Old Aqualis Grill Space
Brooklyn-bred restaraunteurs look to make a go of it on Fulton Street.

Prospect, a restaurant serving "modern New American" cuisine, will open this summer at the now-empty space between S. Portland Avenue and S. Oxford Street.

And while Cooper admitted the economy was still "a problem for everyone involved," his team still believed the location and Prospect's "clean approach to cooking" would take the day.
"Fulton Street is going through a rebirth and that's something we hope to take advantage of," he said.
