âEdible nasturtiumsâ
âPurveys monofloral honey produced by nomadic beekeepers in Sicilyâ
âThe windows are decorated with bird silhouettes â the universal symbol for âhipsters welcomeââ
âSlice of cosmopolitan bohemiaâ
âHeritage-clad novelist typeâ
â[Thirty]-somethings in statement sneakersâ
âFormerly boho environs of Brooklynâ
"Hipsturbia" alone gave me a near-aneurysm.
Also, as someone who spent 18 years of his life alternately condemning and romanticizing the New York metro area suburbs, I love how they're suddenly considered cool enough for a Times trend story because some tattooed dads moved there and â hey, look at that â kinda dig the lifestyle. Tattooed dads have always been a presence in the New York metro area suburbs. Maybe they drink local beer (Blue Point!) and listen to indie rock and follow art blogs. Maybe they drink Bud Light and listen to Billy Joel and follow the Jets. Funny how people from the same place can differ, right?
