Monday January 31st, 2011. NYDN strolled around some of the streets which comprise the bustling Downtown Brooklyn area today. NYDN stopped by the Brooklyn institution Juniors which is located at 386 Flatbush Ave. Extension. This is the original Juniors which opened in 1950.

Junior’s opened its original Brooklyn location in 1950 and has a been a fixture ever since.
This Brooklyn original will have its cheesecake and eat it, too.
Junior’s plans to sell its downtown home, clearing the way for a new condo building with a really sweet perk — easy access to top-flight desserts.
The iconic eatery is expected to move out of its 17,000-square-foot flagship following the sale, but believes it can negotiate a deal to return as a tenant and open a new restaurant on the ground floor.

Back in the day Junior's especially their cheesecake was a must have, today not so much. Quite honestly think they have sold the brand into the ground and much of the food is not of the same quality as years past.
Don't think the Brooklyn location and or Junior's brand has ever recovered from the media coverage of a rat (or was it mouse?) shown nibbling on a cheesecake in a window or something. That put me off and ever since make my own cheesecakes.
Will give you that part of downtown Brooklyn has changed. The Fulton Mall, A&S, etc... are all long gone. The Williamsburg Bank building are residential co-ops, and so forth. Long story short the owners are doing what many others are, taking the money and running.
The mouse was nibbling on a donut in dunckin donuts. Junior got cited for mouse droppings. No A rating.
