We will open August 1.

P.S. Atim is very involved with CB 8.

I wish them luck.

Their demographic

is rapidly

hipster-supplanted

whose whims likely prefer

Keith Haring shtick,

over Afro-exotic hangings

on their walls.

Not that there's anything wrong with Haring

;/ .

There isn't.

Her other store, located in Dumbo, appears to be doing really well.

thats' great news-- they're sweet folks and my wife loved shopping at the spot on washington.

loss for wash ave, gain for us!

i had a funny feeling you would support this store. just a wild guess on my part.

MHA: will you support this new gallery opening on Classon at Lincoln?

A broker from Ideal Properties tells us that a coffee shop and designer gallery, to be called Nouvelle Vag, signed a five-year lease for 468 Lincoln Place, at Classon Avenue. Not many more details beyond that, but the space should open around Labor Day. This is in one of the newly renovated commercial spaces that line both Lincoln Place and Classon Avenue.

If not, please do articulate why you support the one coming to Franklin and not this one.

I guess the answer depends upon context, the speaker, and how the word is pronounced.

I heard their name was originally going to be "Olde Vag".

Glad to hear about Calabar reopening in the area.

More fun commentary on the coffee shop over here:

It's my understanding that the front- er - "entrance" will be in the form of a verticle slit, with an awning (or...ahem..."hood") over it.

Immediately inside (but no one knows where, exactly) is a cozy corner called The G Spot, where you can order multiple coffees.

Is it like a Dan Brown novel or something?
