White tin ceilings, 40s lighting fixtures, exposed brick, and a chalkboard accent wall can only mean one thing. A new cafe is opening at 153 Franklin Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. And from the looks of things, the place will be opening in a month's time. I imagine the proprietor's name is Heather and her place will be called "Heatherette" and she will feature "cupcakes with a twist."
But why leave it to conjecture. I returned the next day and spoke with a gentleman who lives at 153. He let me know that my fantasy bakery will be a wine store. Oh.
I had the same hopes when I saw that classy lighting and the beginnings on a nice renovation...and then the same disappointment. A wine store. so. lame.
ReplyDeleteThere must be an unspoken law that states all new establishments opened in north greenpoint must be centered around alcohol. Now I am a fan of alcohol, but there is more than enough to be had in this neighborhood as is.
