It’s almost embarrassing. What could be more indicative of gentrification than the Hampton Jitney stopping in Park Slope. And it used to be you couldn’t get Manhattan friends to come to dinner.
Maybe we will go out to Sag Harbor this summer after all. The Hampton Jitney is now stopping in PARK SLOPE AND DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN.
WHOA. Brooklyn has arrived. And the Upper West Side doesn’t even have a jitney stop. Can you believe?
This from the New York Sun:
Hampton Jitney, which has been driving New Yorkers to the East End of Long Island from the Upper East Side since 1974, announced earlier this week that it will pick up passengers from Park Slope
and downtown Brooklyn beginning on Memorial Day. The same fleet of
forest green coaches that now services the Upper East Side will be used
in Brooklyn, a company spokeswoman said.The Brooklyn borough president, Marty Markowitz,
who has been an aggressive lobbyist for Jitney pickups in his borough,
offered no apologies to Upper West Side residents who are envious of
Brooklyn’s newest bus service.
Interesting…i just saw an ad for a new bus services, from brooklyn to the hamptons. i wonder if this is what prompted the jittey to extend their services.
