Bar Shots: Prospect Heights, July 18, 2008

Checking out the hood's vintage lounges and low-key burlesque bars

July 18, 2008

After our highly succesful and insightful explorations of Orchard Street, Smith Street, Ninth Avenue Tribeca, Murray Hill and the UWS, we headed to Prospect Heights for the newest installment of Bar Shots, our series that navigates an area of town and the bars (and people) that populate it.

Hailed as Brooklyn’s new Smith Street, Prospect Heights’ Vanderbilt Avenue has seen more places sprout up recently than one can say “another round.” Curious, we decided to hit up six places and make a few boozy observations about who's drinking it up in this buzzing nabe. — Jessie Pascoe
