Bklink: Things to Make You Hurl….”BoCoCafication” of the Burg

December 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

link-asterisk.jpg“Williamsburg is slowly turning into Cobble Hill. Consider the evidence: Grown-up kitchen store Whisk appears on Bedford Avenue. BoCoCa mainstay Bird opens a pop-up shop around the corner on Grand Street. And on the same block, new design store Abode offers stair runners—essential for cozy brownstone living, not so useful for 22-year-olds in crumbling studio apartments. Unfortunately, of these three new developments, Abode, at 179 Grand, turns out to be the least thrilling.” Given that the word “BoCoCa” makes us want to grab for the barf bag we stole from United Airlines for an emergency at Union Pool, the “BoCoCafication of the Burg” leads us to want to projectile vomit all over one of those nice new windows. Ugh. Life sucks and then you get BoCoCafied.–Racked

    Yeah, it sucked when it happened in BoCoCa too. But that’s what happens in Brooklyn.
