Fusion East, the East New York restaurant known for Caribbean and soul food, is preparing to open a second Brooklyn location, this time in Brownsville.
Fusion East Brownsville is planned for 117 Glenmore Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212, as part of the Glenmore Manor development at the intersection of Christopher Avenue and Glenmore Avenue.
Second Location Planned For 2026
The Brownsville outpost has been projected to open in 2026. The new space is expected to span about 5,100 square feet and offer dine-in service, takeout, catering, and a dedicated event area for private gatherings.
Dine-In, Catering, Full Bar, And Food Truck Option
According to plans for the site, the venue will feature Fusion East’s lunch, brunch, and dinner offerings, along with a full bar. The concept also includes a food truck option.
“Fusion East has always been about more than food, it’s about community,” said Fusion East owner, Andrew Walcott. “Bringing Fusion East to Glenmore Manor allows us to serve Brownsville with the same Caribbean and soul food flavors our guests love, while creating a welcoming space for families, celebrations, and everyday moments. We’re proud to be part of what’s next for this neighborhood.”
A Culinary And Community Hub In Brownsville
