    At this point, if I were to create a guide, it would be geared toward young families.

    The young, single folks no longer need a guide.

    Wow. It is totally Franklin-centric, except for Nostrand Pub.

    There's some other stuff in there.

    However, this is my favorite quote:

    ---“It is a neighborhood for the people,” says Georgia Kral, a Crown Heights resident of one year.---

    I respond with:

    If you ever believe you have achieved consensus, it is clear you did not get everyone's input.

    I love that even though the author spent an entire paragraph verbosely defining all of the neighborhood's borders, one of the six recommended places to eat (mango seed) isn't even in crown heights.

    *Shaking head* There's a lot of input there from folks who haven't been in CH that long. Agree that more of a consensus would've been better. There's only one side of the story in this article.

    The article should be called An Interview With De Zayas and Kral.  Both of them lovely I'm sure, but would it have killed the author to ask anyone else?  Franklin may be the "Main drag" of Crown Heights North or Crow Hill, but when considering the entirety of Crown Heights my first thought would be Utica.

    Utica is definitely more of a drag, but not in a good way.

    This is also slanted to whatever lies north of Eastern Parkway. Stuff is making its way south (slowly). If someone can give a shout out to Cool Pony, then someone can mention Owl & Thistle General Store, which is on Franklin just south of Eastern Parkway.

    Reads like a Disneyesque version of Historic Crown Hts.
