Was Fatty's, now Crescent Apothecary

[TBRays]

I was passing by and noticed the former Fatty's has a new tenant and was wondering if anybody knows what this might be?

It's going to be a pharmacy.  What a waste of space for that location!  I live right over there.  Let's see how many people go there when they could walk up to the CVS on 31st St.  Even though I will only have to walk half a block to get there I will not use this pharmacy. I'm sorry that Fatty's had to move because of this.

[TBRays]

Bummer  To be honest I thought it was going to be some type of bar

[braun]

I knew the owner's of Fatty's and they told me the owner wanted them to move so a pharmacy could open there... oh well. I predict it won't last long.  Crescent Apothecary is also a strange name.

The pharmacist's parents own the building, so I wouldn't expect the new tenant to be going anywhere anytime soon.

It's not a strange name, it is just a little old fashioned. I think it sounds hipsterish, personally (I think because I've seen it used in places like DUMBO and the like). We've known it was going to be a pharmacy for some time - it was reported around the time Fatty's announced their move. I peeked in the other day and it looked like they still had to put up shelves and things. And yes, the son of the owner is a pharmacist and he wanted to open up his own place.

I agree, Braun, terrible location.  Good luck to the hipsters.

I like to eat out or have a drink at times, but it's nice nice that a business other than a bar, pizzeria, bagel shop, or cafe is opening. Perhaps it will be one of those pharmacies that serves egg creams. Who knows.

I think we'd have to time travel for that, but I like the nostalgic image.  And now I want an egg cream.  Where can we find Fox's U Bet around here?

but I could be off the mark.

Before Fatty's opened at that location nothing ever lasted there.  There was a restaurant before Fatty's and it didnt' last for long

I love old time luncheonettes like this. I remember when I was growing up we had these and they served egg creams

Braun, look at this:

You will see thee most amazing photos of egg creams, sundaes, a lots of other goodies. I'm in that part of Brooklyn just about every week, but have always avoided that place because I'll be hooked for life and my waistline and arteries will never forgive me.

That sundae looks delicious.  It's a good thing that place is in brooklyn

The sundaes and such really are good.  They also have drinks like egg creams, and a menu of basic American fare.  The last time we were there, a kid at a nearby table was served an enormous square of mac & cheese.
