A Colombian eatery is moving into 46-26 Greenpoint Ave., the space that was previously occupied by Manolo’s.

The restaurant, to be called Los Verdes, is part of a chain based in Florida.  The restaurant chain’s Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/LosVerdesUSA

Los Verdes will be taking over the space that has been vacant since July 2010, when Manolo’s abruptly closed after police arrested the owners for cocaine dealing.
