“Glenda’s is what Crown Heights is all about. If you live in the neighborhood (yes I’m talking to all you folks on Franklin Ave.), make the five minute walk over to Nostrand Ave. to try this food for yourself,” writes Daniel V. on Yelp on March 28, 2014.

It seems newcomers to the neighborhood did not take Daniel’s wise advice. Glenda Henry, owner and operator, of one of the best roti shops in Brooklyn permanently closed her doors at 854 St. John’s Place in March 2015.

Henry from Trinidad brought roti to Brooklyn. Roti, one of the island’s national dishes was always perfect at Glenda’s. OurBKSocial is sad to see this longtime business leave the community. She was an institution, an asset to the neighborhood providing delicious, inexpensive food and great customer service consistently.

Let’s take a look at the far reaching effects in a neighborhood when a beloved business closes: employees working there become unemployed, tenants must move or see their rent drastically increase, former customers lose valuable products and a sense of community and familiarity, the vendors supported by the business lose a customer, and community support and charitable donations may cease.

It is rumored that condos will occupy the space Glenda once owed. Cafes and condos on every corner in Crown Heights— there’s got to be more to life than this.
