Has Williamsburg Gone Crazy for Coconuts?

cocodrink.jpg 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.

slate.com is pretty good about calling the NY Times out on bogus trends. For example, http://www.slate.com/id/2223843/

White people are so behind. First bahn mi sandwiches, now drinking out of coconuts..

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