The Candy Rush, the vintage candy and ice cream shop at 733 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, has shuttered and is quickly being renovated. The new sign up reads “Cool Pony,” and we hear it’ll be more of a nighttime/arts space. Given the quick turnaround, it’s likely that the biz is still run by Kevin Phillip and Garnett Alcindor who opened the Candy Rush in the summer of 2011 and own the building it’s in. Are you sad to see the Franklin Avenue sweets spot go? GMAP
