I have stumbled upon a great many of these flyers in north Brooklyn of late. This one hails from the intersection of Green Street and Franklin Street. Those who care to do so can view the above missive (which unfortunately has misspelled the word “constitutional”) in larger format by clicking here.

Spotted At 195 Franklin Street: Closed For Good?

The old(er)-timers reading this tome might recall this establishment’s previous incarnation: the Greenpoint Coffee House. This establishment was quite popular and its closure was the source of much distress— and anger— to a great many people in this community. If what I saw passing by on any given day was any indication, it would appear that its successor never quite caught on. As for what will happen next— that is for us to wait and see. The sign clearly states that while closed for good, a new restaurant will open under new management next year. Hmm…

Garden Spot Cafe
Status: closed, pending new management
195 Franklin Street
Brooklyn, New York 11222

Special thanks goes out to eagle_teater for tipping me off to this. Thanks!
