Bemelmans Bar Is Back + 5 More Bars Reopening In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"Most beer gardens aren’t the kinds of places where you’d get sloppy on the dancefloor. But that’s what made Franklin Park in Crown Heights a little different. Their big outdoor patio with picnic tables operated like a beer garden during the day, but after 10pm on weekends, the bar room inside became a sweaty club scene. But Franklin Park was more than just a fun place to hang out — it’s been the go-to spot in the neighborhood for things like canned food drives, clothing swaps, and even a weekly reading group. Just three months after closing its doors, the neighborhood bar welcomed everyone back for crisp IPAs and local drafts outside. So if you live in the neighborhood, or just need a relatively quiet place to meet up with a few people outdoors, consider supporting this exceptional beer place." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
