PM Update: Gowanus Union Hall Details

Everyone is buzzing today about the new Union Hall which will be opening on Seventh Street between Second and Third Avenues, and both Brooklyn Vegan and Gothamist had details as well as a statement from Union Hall's owner. The Food of the Future blog first reported news of the new venue nearly two months ago, noting that "given the problems that i've heard about with their current location - i.e. noise complaints, it makes sense to open something in a location where noise is not an issue." Apparently, Union Hall is planning to keep music programming at the Union Street venue too, however. The new Union Hall-operated venue is in the same area as the Brooklyn Artists Gym and the brand new Gowanus Studio Space. Combine this will all the activity that Gabby Warshawer of Brownstoner lists out today in the Third Street Corridor, which looks quite impressive when placed on a map, and one senses much action starting to happen in this once desolate area.
