Viceland.com has an amazing article on the oral history of Williamsburg’s long gone but never forgotten den of snortitude… Kokie’s! Seriously do yourself a favor and read it, haha!

This sparked Mr. Malta and myself to reminisce on just how sketchy and bombed out Williamsburg once was! I remember my mother looking at me with this look of “Are you fucking crazy?” when I mentioned I was going there at some point during high school to watch my friend’s band record. Even as early as 2000-2001 it was pretty sketchy to start venturing south Grand street, oh how times have changed.
