Streetlevel: New Café on 8th Avenue

gialetis_0908.jpg
A tipster sent in this info about a new café on 8th Avenue and Prospect Avenue: "It's called Gialeti's Cafe, and promises fresh-baked pastries, paninis, and crepes." Should help fill the hole left by the closing of Café Eleven and Tea Lounge; the latter space remains vacant, by the way.

A realtor might describe it as "estate ready".

Isn't this the sort of grit that so many people profess to miss?

Kind of neat in a wabi sabi kind of way.

Hi,
Does anyone have an idea on the area of 16th St. and PPW, specifically 16th bet 8 Ave+ PPW? I'm looking to rent in the area (pvt home w basement and large yard) The area looks to be rapidly gentrifying and seems to have many great features (very close to Park, F train, etc.) Heard that a new Pub/Restaurant is opening shortly right on the corner of 16th and PPW (owners from Cake Shop in lower Manhattan). I am confident that the apartment and area have all that I want/need. I'm just trying to get an additional feel on the nabe. Thanks.

Hi,
Forgive me for redundancy as I have posted this in different areas with no luck and am hoping for a reply.Does anyone have an idea on the area of 16th St. and PPW, specifically 16th bet 8 Ave+ PPW?

Hank,

I have lived here since August 2007, a few blocks south from the cross streets you mention. My cohabiting boyfriend feels very safe here, and likes the proximity to Park Slope with a smaller price tag, as well as having the benefit of PPW shops just around the corner. We both love the park, though the F train isn't always a reliable train.

As a female, I've been catcalled on my way home from the F more times than I care to remember, in ways that make me feel less admired and more threatened. However, I am a few blocks farther south than the area you mention, and the farther south you go, the less gentrified the nabe. In summary, if you're bringing a wife and kids, reconsider or get a third opinion; if you're alone, I think you'll be fine.
