Chock Full O'Nuts coming to 7th Ave?

Good for you George. Anything there but another bank. And we've got enough places for food on 7th Avenue.

I've had a cheese burger at bam, the automat in the east village. damn good cheeseburger, too.

I agree. I've given the coffee so many tries and I think its terrible. It always tastes horribly burnt to me. I even tried it in iced coffed form...twice, and I had to throw it out both times.

I picked up some coffee from the small shop on 8th St off 7th Ave. I had the "Joe's Blend" and their "Mocha Java". Both were excellent.

Subject: 7th ave

how about a housing works?

seems as though all the good antique/vintage stores are down on 5th, but something like this up on 7th could be great.

I live for coffee and am a caffeine addict, but Gorilla coffee is way too strong for me -- I was shaky and jittery for an hour the one time I tried it. I went in one day during the heat wave we had last summer and the place was un-airconditioned, and stifling, yet every seat was taken by a sweaty, miserable-looking person staring zombielike at their laptop screen. It was creepy.

It's gone for good.
The owner now owns the Blue Pearl Restaurant around the corner on Union Street.

Makes sense, but it's sad. They had such a good selection. Guess it's time to bite the bullet and get Netflix myself...

that would be java joe's and i have to put in a quick word against it here.

stopped in a couple of days ago, they had a decent selection and we bought about $20 worth of tea. then i asked if i could use their bathroom and i don't recall whether they said they didn't have one or it was out of order, but they clearly had one--it was just to the left of the counter--and just weren't going to let a customer use it.

unfortunately i'd already paid for the tea, but i'm never going back there again. there are too many decent coffee/tea shops in the hood to put up with a rude one.
