“My Place” is for sale
I stopped to tie my shoe on the way to the G train this morning, and when I looked up, I was in front of a real estate office. Just out of curiosity, I quickly scanned the offerings in the window - and discovered a listing sheet for My Place, a restaurant that used to be at 109 Franklin - that’s right inbetween Alter and the bodega on the corner of Greenpoint and Franklin. (No, I didn’t see the price, I’m not here to shill for free for whoever’s selling it.)
I never ate at My Place - I believe it was a Thai restaurant at one point, but it was never open when I wanted to eat there, or I just never considered it as an option for some reason. The location has always been good, since the Pencil Factory is right there, and it’s a major intersection, and there still isn’t all that much down here (yet). A nice little cafe or sandwich shop would be a fine asset to the area. Just please, for the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Not Another Bar!
