“Sweet Leaf” sprouting at the corner of Jackson Ave & 11th Street

Good catch. I saw them doing some construction the other day and didn’t know what it was.

Wonderful!

Whats the rumor I hear that Plaxall is trying to buy this building?

Walked by it last week. Looks really great but very, very small. Maybe 2 tables. Can’t wait.

#7… uh, you know about Communitea, right?

If either 1) Brasil would get wireless… or even if Court Square Diner would get wireless

or

2) Communitea would stay open later

this neighborhood would gain major livability points.

I actually like Brasil’s coffee… just get their BCH stuff, not the “American” coffee. BCH cafe au lait every morning on the train ride… better than anything near my office in Midtown.

Why can’t you comment on the blend article?

ok the commenting bug has been fixed. thanks for letting us know.

I guess I could try Cafe Henri… doesn’t seem that conducive to just sitting there with a laptop (a bit fancy) but maybe..

#15, Yeah that’s great and all, but unfortch I have a lot of extracurricular whatnot to work on after work, especially on weeknights, that involves needing to use my dang computer rather than putz around enjoying with friends and books, unfortunately… so, I’m either stuck at home and truly isolated, or at least in public. The latter is the better, no?

what the hell does unfortch and whatnot mean?

And if you’re ‘truly’ working, shouldn’t you be alone to concentrate? And you being in public isn’t helping anyone except occupying a seat for several other paying customers.

Rigdewood calls. Or Bushwick. Lots of gritty NY characters over there that would love a Rust Belt refugee to mug. That’s where the real NY is that you fantasized about growing up, not in LIC.

Keep using words like ‘totally’ and ‘lame’

God, what a clueless follow-the-pack mentality you hipster Midwesterns have. All the same, same style of haircut, same glasses frames, dress the same.

That’s why real NY’ers dislike you, no sense of individuality. Follow the pack. Follow them right to Ridgewood. Or Bushwick. Wherever the dirty people live.

#22 – thread hijacker.
we get it already. dirty hipsters.

i don’t really understand that last comment… i think you’re missing a few verbs. maybe a few after-work coctails perhaps? regardless, i don’t think ‘hipsters’ like things all that dirty given that most of them live off bedford ave. not exactly a filthy neighborhood.

anyway, can’t wait for sweat leaf to open. this neighborhood needs a good coffee shop.

you’re right. communitea is great, but i was thinking closer to jackson ave.

#25, not sure where you get the idea everyone is watching TV and fantasizing about living in New York… typical NYCer thinking this city is the center of the world. Hell, I was thinking to move to Portland or Detroit, but happened to get a job here, is all, and heard LIC was this great semi-industrial community full of artists with an intimate neighborly vibe. I guess I was scammed, because seems like it’s getting overrun with assholes who’d rather be in Manhattan.

wait. are the midwesterners the dirty hipsters or the people in the towers? you’re only allowed to hate one group at a time.

The beauty of NYC is that everybody is welcomed or else we would be any other city in the country.

That is cool. Our store in Portland, Oregon is named “Sweet Leaf” too. People always think the name means something else but, there are many things refered to as the Sweet Leaf.
