Has Williamsburg Gone Crazy for Coconuts?

Since it would be a shame if you missed this and walked around Williamsburg like a fool without a coconut, here's the latest NY Times style piece about walking around Williamsburg with a coconut.

I agree that white people are behind. And when they they finally figure it out, they want fanfare. And they want to charge a lot of money for it. Coconuts and coconut water, rice beverage..

Sweetie, I've seen quite a few people in Latin America drinking Coca-Cola. It goes both ways.

Also, this is not a trend- chinatown has been doing this since the dawn of time.

But hey, at least it's an awesome way to conceal the consumption of achohol in public. Now I finally have a coconut for my mid-day rum consumption. Thank you, NY Times.
