New Cafe Opening on Flatbush

It's been over a year since we heard that the old City Jerk spot (at 591 Flatbush) was being converted to a new restaurant/bar, Cafe Exhale, but it looks like the place is finally about to open. The renovation looks much more high-end than what you typically see in the neighborhood, with granite floors, a wood bar and paneling, so hopefully it'll be nice. Workers say the place will serve upscale American food. We'll let you know what that means when we find out.
