We’d originally relegated this story to the Daily Links post, but it’s too good not to have its own post…Apparently one of the owners of the popular coffee spot Gorilla Coffee at 97 Fifth Avenue in Park Slope rubbed the employees the wrong way so they all banded together and quit en masse, throwing the Park Slope ecosystem into disequilibrium. Evidently there are all sorts of signs posted out front with a running he-said-she-said account of the problem. From a reader: “My husband said there was line outside the door of people just freaking out and totally in crisis over the lack of coffee. I have a feeling he was one of them because I was on the other line when he called to tell me this, and he told my secretary that it was an emergency.” We also hear that Gorilla addicts have been depleting supplies at neighboring stores to ride out the current crisis. We’d be mighty appreciative if someone could send in some photos of the storefront and posted screeds…

Can’t be too careful with that stuff on the subway: In a crowded car many years ago, standing next to the man I had married a few weeks earlier, I felt his hand where only a husband’s should be. I was getting into it, then grinned up at him, only to see both his hands wrapped around the grab bar.
Iced coffee is an awful drink.
haha Denton – I’m sure most baristas in Park Slope would rather jump off Hotel Le Bleu-cheese than work in a ‘lesser’ neighborhood.
denton, I live on the posh Upper East Side and moved to the ghetto.
