Cream is back and wants to take bar food “up a notch.”

Three years after construction forced a fashionably-designed eatery on Myrtle Avenue called Cream to shutter, its heavy wooden doors were quietly pushed open again at the start of this summer.

Out with the old and in with the new: restaurant owner John Black bought one of those flashy websites that look like a web version of Snapchat Discover and partnered with a new chef, Nightt “Diablo” Samuel, fresh from running a shortly-lived offshoot of Jimmy’s Diner in Greenpoint– now home to the buzzy Chez Ma Tante. Samuel considers himself schooled in more fashionable New American fare and he has casually remade the menu at Cream, giving it the kind of punched-up accessibility that Instagram foodies are hungry for.
