The folks behind the kosher, pay-what-you-can spot, which operated in Scotland for three years, aim to reopen in Crown Heights this summer.

The Pink Peacock, the anarchist, queer-friendly kosher Yiddish café that operated in Glasgow, Scotland for three years, is looking to reopen in Brooklyn this summer.
The cafe, which opened in 2020, generated serious buzz for likely being the only queer, Yiddish, anarchist and vegan pay-what-you-can café in the world. In 2023, it closed after its owners suffered from burnout, citing an “astonishing amount of antisemitic vitriol” during its three years of operation from other “self-described leftists.”
But now, according to Pink Peacock co-founders Moishe Holleb and Miles Grant, who are both American and independently wound up back stateside, the cafe hopes to find lasting success in New York City’s hippest borough.
