The Times features spiffy Crown Heights hotspot Franklin Park today. As the Times reports:
“I came because of the Skee-Ball,” said Ashley Bonnell, 28, on a recent Saturday night, as she sipped a gin gimlet alongside the white subway-style tiles of the smaller bar. “My friends have been calling me to join them in the East Village, but I told them I’m hanging out in my hood.”
From the next stool, her friend Joachim Boyle, 28, who was also drinking a gimlet, concurred. “You don’t know how excited I am to be out of the Village and live here.”
Mr. Boyle pondered whether old-timers would dismiss them as invading hipsters.
“I’m not a hipster,” Ms. Bonnell, a physical therapist, insisted.
“Yes, you are,” Mr. Boyle said, waving toward her long cardigan, red scarf and chunky boots. He tugged on his subtly sheened blue button-down. “So am I.”
Also, the Times offers a handy guide at the end that includes the address and this...:
DRESS CODE Facial hair, cabby hats, zippered sweaters and jeans for men. Oversize cardigans, leggings or skinny jeans, long scarves and flat boots for women.
