re: lala
surely you recognize the difference between “openly gay” (as in “not pretending to be straight”) and “parades of men in tinkerbell costumes”? or has anita bryant started trolling the brooklyn blogs?
Are you gay??? Why is it so important to you that parades of men in Tinkerbell costumes prance around the city? Are you the “sensitive”, caring type? Or, are you simply full of shit???
java joe has good coffee…and soooo many wonderful options. i think they’re 2nd only to gorilla.
The new place on the Prospect Heights side of Flatbush at 7th Ave is really good. Strong coffee, free wireless. Forgot the name dammit.
It does say “Heights” in the name; of that I am sure. You Slopers better keep yo’ asses on the SPF 50 side of Flatbush and not ruin this place!
Ansade on 5th is pretty good. And free wireless, too.
How sad is it that Park Slope has changed so much since I lived there, that I don’t know one single place you mentioned. How long has there been a B&N on seventh ave??? I do know where Connecticut muffin is, so I guess I could find the Starbucks if I needed it the next timeI visit friends.
You are right about the coffee in the south though. After drinking Carluccio’s while living in London, the NC coffee places just can’t make it strong enough for me.
how could you leave out connecticut muffin, across the street from starbucks? not only is the coffee better, but the atmosphere is less oppressive.. and they deserve a lot of credit for not folding before the monolith.
Don’t forget the little french bakery next to Steve’s C-Town on 9th Street between 5th and 6th ave. They have some tasty coffee options. And any comprehensive list should probably also include Connecticut Muffin, Java Joes, The Charcuterie, Dizzy’s (lot’s of people grab a Dizzy’s cup before descending into the F train), Little Red Hen, and of course, the cart in front of Barnes & Noble on 7th Ave. Sometimes you need a cup of Joe just for it’s basic “joe-ness!”
