A Honeygrow’s In Brooklyn: Your Latest Chipotle Alternative
Oh, what Chipotle has wrought.
While the concept of a mom-and-pop restaurant seems to be teetering on the edge of extinction, the endlessly scaleable, farm-to-table fast-casual concept—featuring wild caught poke, antiobiotic-free chicken sandwiches, and quinoa bowls instead of burgers and fries—is having its day in the sun. And Downtown Brooklyn is perfectly positioned for a healthful franchise invasion, with its ring of secondary schools, concentrated transportation network, and enviable proximity to the courts.
It won’t take the sting from the loss of true mom-and-pop shops, but it sure is a sweet alternative to Chipotle.
