Brooklyn’s next big venue just might be in the produce aisle of a Clinton Hill supermarket.

“We figured that we wanted our shoppers to stay excited every time that they come into the store, and there’s really no better way to enjoy yourself than live music,” said Goldin, who will set up the stage on the store’s elevated cash register area every day from 5–9 pm.
That’s an early closing time for a hip music venue, but Kevin Avanzato, general manager of Union Hall, thinks that Goldin is on to something.
