Streetlevel: Lonelyville Makes Windsor Terrace Lonelier
Huh. Yesterday, we were reporting about cafés doing good business in Bed Stuy, so what’s going on over here? Lonelyville, a very popular coffee shop in Windsor Terrace, has shuttered its doors. Not only that, but the building, rumored to be owned by the ladies who ran Lonelyville, is for sale, handled by Massey Knakal…
Huh. Yesterday, we were reporting about cafés doing good business in Bed Stuy, so what’s going on over here? Lonelyville, a very popular coffee shop in Windsor Terrace, has shuttered its doors. Not only that, but the building, rumored to be owned by the ladies who ran Lonelyville, is for sale, handled by Massey Knakal (this downloadable Powerpoint presentation shows the three-story building on the market for $1.25 million). About the café, the consensus around the neighborhood seems to be this: big fat bummer. GMAP
A cup 3/4 full of ice melting into your iced coffee makes it *weak* and diluted, which is not what anyone wants!! Rob, you keep posting and coining replacements for “hipster”.
How about Childish Man-Twerp or CMT?
TMC is perfect. and thank you brenda from flatbush. seriously i giggle whenever i see your screenname hahahahah
*rob*
Rob, let me add my highest praise, twice:
1. for pointing out the idiocy of the “iced coffee” cup full of nothing but ice because the losers won’t make and pre-chill some brewed coffee (so you get tepid coffee-flavored melted icewater), and
2) for coining the phrase “twerpish man-child.” “Hipster” has seen its day; welcome, TMC.
Yes, these people who sit in these coffee shops writing their memoirs are really killing both the atmosphere and the profits the owners can count on. There is a place on Smith St. where despite the tattoos and piercings on the clientele, it feels as if one has mistakenly walked into the reading room at the NY Public Library. What this neighborhood needs is a fine bar; one that does not have a television blaring the latest game.
We need a bar!
Rob, you have lots of friends here!
okay well i am fer SURE going to be like , “lookey here lookey lou, i demand less ice!” the next time i get iced coffee from there…
*rob*
Says a lot about “looky lou” that his one and only post on brownstoner was to tell rob to shut up.
I like your posts Rob. Wacky, but good.
