Inside PROTOTYPE 2027—A Conversation with OperaWire

Before

0.2 mi · 4 min walk - Williamsburg

Long communal tables under a retractable roof, with a grill going at the back turning out sausage and pork chops. There is live music most nights and it costs nothing to sit through it. The grill runs later than the kitchen, so a late arrival still eats.

After

0.2 mi · 5 min walk - Williamsburg

Twenty-odd years on the corner of Berry and North 3rd, pouring cheap beer and putting out bowls of Utz cheese balls for nothing. The kitchen does chili dogs and Frito pie. There is a pool table, a dartboard and a jukebox that has not been curated by anyone.
