Brooklyn, New York, United States
"But now, according to Pink Peacock co-founders Moishe Holleb and Miles Grant, who are both American and independently wound up back stateside, the cafe hopes to find lasting success in New York Citys hippest borough."
Crown Heights, New York, United States
"As for how they ended up looking in Crown Heights, Grant said it just happened, while they scoped out Jewish neighborhoods in New York."
Park Slope, New York, United States
"For Abby Stein, the ex-Hasidic transgender rabbi and activist, the prospect of a queer, Yiddish, anti-Zionist caf not too far from her Park Slope home seems really cool."
New York, United States
