Sycamore is Here! Ditmas Park's Newest Bar Opens Today

Last night we got a sneak peak at Sycamore, Ditmas Park's newest bar (and flower shop), and it looks great! The bar stools are lined up, the liquor and wine bottles are displayed prominently on the wall, and the flowers were picked up early this morning at a nearby market. Expect the doors to open around 5 or 6 p.m., and if this nice weather sticks around, we're told the garden in the back will be open.


















We spoke with Allison McDowell, co-owner of the bar with Gary Jonas, whose enthusiasm about the opening makes us all the more excited to see this place blossom (pun most definitely intended). And if the success of Pomme De Terre and The Farm on Adderley, Gary and Allison's other neighborhood ventures, are any indication, Sycamore will be the next big neighborhood hang-out. She mentioned that people have been hankering for a place to sit back, relax, and have a drink. "I think the neighborhood's finally ready for this," she added. We certainly are.
