According to a tipster on the Brooklynian boards, a Starbucks is set to open in Restoration Plaza — that is, on Fulton Street between the intersections of New York and Marcy Avenues and Brooklyn and Tompkins Avenues. Other commenters on the thread don’t seem miffed about the opening of the coffee chain in their neighborhood — after all, there’s already an Applebee’s on the block. “Starbucks is too expensive to me to visit regularly,” writes one local resident, “but I might pop in for a chai latte or something.” Can anybody confirm this rumor?
