Streetlevel: More Crunch on Flatbush

The Park Slope branch of Crunch opened in the late nineties earlier this decade on the second floor of 330 Flatbush Avenue. Nearly a decade later Now, they’re expanding into the first floor and basement. A rep for the company said the new space will hold “all new cardio,” and in the basement they’re adding yoga and Pilates studios. She said construction was expected to finish in a month or so, though from the looks of it they’re going to have to, um, muscle to the finish.
Little Miss Muffin rocks. I used to go there all the time when I lived in PH. Excellent patties and cookies.
i haven’t been to christies in a minute. is everything pretty much the same still? (except for the location of course)
Bktycoon- Little Miss Muffin also has fantastic brownies/pastries. I always stop in for the strawberry croissant if I can manage to get there early enough. They always sell out quickly on the weekends it seems.
I love that little place, hope it doesn’t get priced out of the nabe anytime soon.
“Haven’t lived here long enough to know if they were once on this side, though…”
Yes, at the very end of this block.
It was Park Slope Sports & Fitness. Same owners of Fort Greene Sports & Fitness (on Fulton), which is now also a Crunch. The changeover happened for both sites about 2 years ago.
Yes, Crunch is expanding into the storefront where Christies used to be (corner of Flatbush and Sterling).
As we all know, Christies relocated down the street on Flatbush (across from Blockbuster) a few months back.
i love christies, however i tried a spicy beef patty recently from little miss muffin. In these tough economic times, its amazing how far $1.50 can go on flatbush
Sorry…a million posts. Just had too much coffee…
Here’s another new place getting some good press:

They had a write up in the latest Time Out New York about a new shop that opened up in the Slope. It’s a shop/design collective of 5 woman and their wares.
It’s on 5th Street between 5th and 6th. Might want to consider writing it up.
It’s called Urban Alchemist.
