Red Hook pop-up vegan juice bar.

We passed this sign (below) about a pop-up vegan juice bar called Joanne’s.  It’s open Tuesday-Sunday from 8am-6pm at 220 Conover, which houses the bar Botanica (pictured above).  A very good idea to have this daytime business utilizing a more nighttime space.  From the looks of this flyer they have more than just juice.  We’ll […]
