Freddy's To Reopen in February

This news already started to make the blog rounds over the long weekend, but Freddy’s, the Atlantic Yards holdout that was demolished in August, is opening on February 4th at its South Slope digs, 627 5th Avenue. According to the press release, “The new bar is not the old Freddy’s, but many items did make the long journey from demolition to re-birth, including the original prohibition era red mahogany bar, the old booths and tables, and a few special items as well. The Chains of Justice will still grace our bar as a reminder of our fight against eminent domain abuse and the power of the community bond.”
