Crown Heights Renters Guide

Urban_Pads1

Hey, I thought people might be interested to see our neighborhood guide for Crown Heights and PLG. It was released on our website last night. Check our the top neighborhood hotspots: http://www.urbanpadsnyc.com/renters-handbook/

Crown Heights "is a beautiful blend of beards, bards and bars, all within easy access to Manhattan."  Beards?!

Hipsters and hassids Both groups tend to the bearded side.

Agree, but is that really what CH is "famous" for?  I mean, look at Williamsburg; they have hipsters and hassids as well...or is Williamsburg so yesterday?  Or are our beards just better kept, thereby, a "beautiful blend?"  Or maybe the beards in CH are just more approachable...

I just find this funny...

@urban_pads1 -

A nice guide.

Although you released it last night, it is rapidly becoming out of date.

For example, you mention these hotspots in Crown Heights, but they either are already gone or will be soon:

Cool Pony has closed

Juice Hugger Cafe will soon be demolished.

Nice guide but little content regarding identity of Crown H
