Little Rascal (130 Franklin St) has opened a Greenpoint outpost of the popular Nolita Mediterranean restaurant. The new location inhabits a prime space on a bustling section of Franklin Street that used to be Magazine Bar before it closed in 2020. Before that, the space was occupied by Shayz Lounge, which closed in the beginning of 2019 after a decade in Greenpoint.

Why your support matters
Just like in the field of dreams, build an overpriced hipster bar and/or restaurant and they will come.
Don’t get me wrong, the place looks beautiful but you need to decide whether to pay the rent or eat here.
I don’t get it.
