In a ‘fix’: James Bradley, owner of the Sound Fix record store on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, will relocate a block away so he can bring back in-store concerts.

Yes, one of Brooklyn’s best record stores is moving out of its home of five years, but Sound Fix owner James Bradley has some good news for his customers, too: Live music performances will return!

In-store appearances at the Bedford Avenue vinyl and CD emporium helped define Sound Fix — until neighbors complained and the shows were halted.

They’ll return at the Berry Street location.

“Record stores all over the nation [have live music],” said Bradley (pictured). “Why can’t we?”

Bradley also hopes to expand the listening section of the store, which he feels is too cramped in the current location.

The new store will open in early September in a building that will also house a wine bar, a BBQ restaurant and a dance club.

Sound Fix [for now at 110 Bedford Ave. at N. 11th Street in Williamsburg, (718) 388-8090]. Opening in September at 44 Berry St., at N. 11th Street.

Woo-hoo! Tim Hortons in NYC!!!

Tims Hortons is opening in NYC on Monday. I love Tim Hortons doughnuts, baked goods and sandwiches. I had them in the Buffalo area of NY and fell in love with them. They are so much better than Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme. I hope this means that some stores will soon be popping up around Long Island. Even though I am not legally allowed to cross the border and go in to Canada I do love them for two things, Hockey and TIm Hortons. My wife works in the city and gos to Penn Station (where they are opening an outlet on Monday) everyday so I can get her to pick me up some, I cant wait !

Jul 09, 2009 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) ----Tim Hortons Inc (NYSE:THI), a coffee and donut chain, will open 13 locations in New York City on Monday in former Dunkin' Donuts stores, according to a New York Times report. The Riese Organization is ending its affiliation with Dunkin' and welcoming in the Canadian chain named after a late great hockey player. Tim Hortons now has over 3,400 locations, 500 in the United States. Dunkin' Dunuts on the other hand has more than 500 locations in the New York City area alone. The Times cited CEO of Riese Dennis Riese as saying, "Dunkin' is a great concept for a customer and a consumer," but added, "I can't make money with them."

Rubys Famous BBQ East Meadow NY

I finally got down to Rubys Famous BBQ in East Meadow NY. Greg Barry better known on the BBQ competition circuit as "Big Barry" has recently taken over the reigns as pit master. Last night included a live band as well as food and drink specials that will continue on Thurs nights from now on. At the table we had chicken fried steak (shown above) as well as prime rib, angus hamburger, chicken wings, moink balls (a meatball wrapped in bacon with a cherry chipotle sauce on it). The food was excellent, nobody had any complaints. I do not care for moink balls but the cherry chipotle sauce (a new creation by Barry) was terrific. The place was packed, had a nice vibe going. It looks like with the help of Barry the place is doing very well , I wish him much success.
