A Starbucks for Sheepshead Bay?
Starbucks may be shuttering some shops across the country, but at least one new one may be opening: the corner of Nostrand Avenue and Gravesend Neck Road could be home to a 1,500-square-foot L-shaped Starbucks with a drive-thru, says Courier-Life. CB15 okayed Starbuck’s app for a zoning variance, though some folks worry having a drive-thru…

CB15 okayed Starbuck’s app for a zoning variance, though some folks worry having a drive-thru next to a bus stop could pose some dangers. Still, the nabe is fairly used to these kinds of shops. “That area of Nostrand Avenue is already home to a number of other fast-food joints and drive-thrus.”
Yes, I despise that effing BoCoCa crap. Assinine.
I grew up here DIBS, it’s my neighborhood. My nephews live around the corner from me. My family friends all live here. Yes, it’s more expensive than I would like. But it’s my life, it’s not a “lifestyle” choice.
I think you were the one who hated “BoCoCa”, no?? Someone wrote once that it sounded like fingernails on the chalkboard to them!!! LOL
cobblehiller…i don’t like Starbucks coffee and don’t go there. Living in Cobble Hill or BoCoCa as it may be, and calling someone else on their expensive taste is kind pot/kettle ya think???
cobblehiller, they probably just google earth it.. they scroll in and see a gritty area and are like WAH-LA! let’s do our little magic here. :-/
*roB*
I hope the same for you. I think I’ll be ok What, thank you, as ever. Although I say that and I worry that I am in some sort of denial…
My friend’s ex-girlfriend is one of the people at Starbucks that decides where they put the new stores. The odd part was, she never left Corporate HQ in Seattle. How is that possible? I mean how the heck would she know the corner of Clinton and Dekalb from Gravesend and Nostrand in Brooklyn?
if you just buy PLAIN coffee, starbucks isnt that much more. seriously. i actually do like their coffee, but ive been pilfering my roommates coffee these days when he leaves in the morning i just drink whats left in the pot so i stopped buying coffee outside. but when im not so broke i do like the occassional starbucks coffee. their special drinks however will go up to like 7 bucks. but little pretentious cafes are just as expensive really and they serve you with attitude. at least people at starbucks are friendly. even tho i hate hate hate the people who clearly have no jobs but sit there all day on their 3000 dollar macbooks. barf.
