I still think the Landlord is a shit for kicking out the health food store that was there for years, Prana I think? the owner is probably taking a writeoff for the empty space he engineered; in otherwords, a tax break that we all get to subsidize.

I hope this is a false rumor. We don't need another Starbucks in the neighborhood.
While I don't mind starbucks occasionally it does bother me that this will further hurt the local business. although the starbucks on 2nd ave and 9th st is there and Mud seems to still be doing ok (I hope!)

Allow me to bury the lead. Our friends at Neighborhoodr have some coffee-related gossip/news. First, they hear that the former Revitali hookahry on First Avenue between St. Mark's and Seventh Street will become some sort of coffee shop...

Then! Neighborhoodr links to Barney-Mugging, where Ruthy notes:
Someone told me today that there is a STARBUCKS rumored to be opening on Avenue A sometime in the near future. Personally, I don’t care for burnt coffee or impersonal service, but I still fear it’s going to give all of my beloved cafes in the area a run for their money…
