In-the-Works McDonald's Upsets Slopers

Healthy-eating Park Slope residents who toasted the demise of the KFC on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Warren Street will have a new public enemy to contend with following the purchase of the prominent site by McDonald’s last fall. Park Slope Patch recently talked to a few of them. “I’m not happy about it at all, no,” said the owner of Il Vino Torchio just down the block. “I don’t like chains. I wish they would put a better kind of restaurant there.” Once Boerum Hill resident had this to say: “I wasn’t a fan of the KFC, when it existed. I don’t eat fast food. Why would you when there are so many better options to choose from in the neighborhood?” The one person interviewed who saw the McFlurry cup as half full was the tender of a nearby bar who thought it would come in handy for late-night munchies.
