I just read it on the Brookyn Paper but someone wrote to me about it before. I didn't know what it was so like any good journalist I ignored it. DUH.
This is from Ben Muessig's story in the Brooklyn Paper:
Espresso entrepreneur Caroline Bell told The Brooklyn Paper that she
will open a branch of her popular Greenpoint coffeehouse Cafe Grumpy on
Seventh Avenue between 11th and 12th streets.
will open a branch of her popular Greenpoint coffeehouse Cafe Grumpy on
Seventh Avenue between 11th and 12th streets.
Park Slope resident, who with her husband runs a Meserole Avenue
Café Grumpy location and a Manhattan outpost, hopes to launch the new
cafe in storefront that once housed the clothing store Lola in May.
“We’re excited because it’s really close to our apartment,” said
Bell, whose coffee joint is considered a shrine by java junkies
nationwide and is a constant presence on magazine “Best of New York”
lists.
“It’s also our first location on a main street near a subway with lots of foot traffic.”
cafe grumpy is a great coffee bar I first discovered on Meserole St. in Greenbpoint. I stopped by there today, coincidentally. They are famous for creating that nice design in one’s cappucino froth – mine was two hearts today. It’s a very artsy, unstarbuck like cafe – There is art on the walls, and a not new york city feel to it. Today, I was struck by the peaceful and small town quality of the place, especially nestled among the low buildings on Meserole off of Mcguinness St. I’m glad there will be an outpost in PS
