I won’t bore you (or maybe I will) with my childhood memories of visits to FAO Schwartz with my maternal grandmother. But check out this scoop via Brooklyn Record. Could it possibly be true? Look out Little Things.

Chain restaurants aren’t always welcome in Brooklyn neighborhoods, so
we’re curious to see what our readers think about this bit of gossip.
According to NY1, "Crain’s New York Business says FAO Schwarz plans to
open two more stores in the city, smaller than the flagship store on
Fifth Avenue. The company is reportedly looking to have a presence in
neighborhoods like Union Square and Park Slope, Brooklyn." (We don’t
have a Crain’s subscription, but if anyone does, please share the
details!) Would this be a welcome chain store for the families of Park
Slope — or just an annoying tourist attraction? NY1 also reports that
"more than two million people visit its New York City location each
year."
