While my area wasn’t so much “hip” as “hip replacement”, I recently learned that I lived a stone’s throw from the latest contentious It place in NYC: an unremarkable concrete triangle speckled with a few good bars that is jokingly known as “Dimes Square”. For reasons I am still trying to fathom, a new article on Dimes Square is published every five minutes by everyone from Vogue to Vanity Fair, all of them valiantly trying to unpick the cultural significance of what is – again, I can’t stress this enough – an unremarkable concrete triangle speckled with a few good bars.
Dimes Square has even got international attention: the New Statesman last month published a piece titled “New York’s hipster wars”, explaining how the area plays a starring role in the “city’s clash of cultures between progressive Brooklyn and transgressive Manhattan” and how that “marks a new era in American politics”.
