All of Bushwick's projects are within two blocks. Nelson, I pretty much can’t think of a less likely place for a “taste of Williamsburg” to open. All of Bushwick’s projects are within two blocks.

Not to mention the J, M and Z train are two blocks away.

Anyway, we definitely need some artisanal stores, lets hope we get some! That’s pretty interesting – I didn’t know there was a loophole in the law.

There's a store on Broome Street, Vintage New York. I know the operator and will ask what she thinks of our area: Vintage New York are the only stores in New York that can create gift baskets of wine and food together. We have hundreds of wines from dozens of New York wineries, along with local artisanal cheeses, patés and other foods-- all made in New York-- and a wide assortment of unique wine lifestyle accessories.

Liquor stores can't sell cranjerry juice to mix with your vodkas, wine stores can't sell cheese to go with their wines, food markets like Brooklyn's Natural can't sell wine to go with their proscuitto. And the consequence for us in Bushwick is: We have to buy wine from ghetto liquor stores surrounded by bullet-proof glass. Nice one - thanks all round to the political class for that!

I mean, they say Gimme Coffee, and I see the Gimme Coffee bags... but they're making it like shit or using other beans. A decent cup of coffee close to Morgan L stop would be great.
