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…

Status: closed, pending new management

Those of you who were wondering where Chairman Chris’s brain was at this week’s Community Board meeting, no worries, I found it.

It’s on Humboldt Street. Note the nutritional content.
