Benson, why are you picking only on the point that is arguable instead of saying, “Yes, Nomi, you are right. I was an insensitive schmuck saying the wall of this place look like they’ve accumulated 100 years of farts on them. Please, can you find it in your heart to forgive me? I’ve got issues.”
DIBS – and which Hudson, NY cafes do you think equal cute? Don’t even tell me Cascades or Nolita!!!!!!!
I hope this place is good. That little strip of empty shops on Columbia would be awesome if filled with some good restaurants, cafes, etc.
I know many on here won’t care, but a kid friendly place would do really well around there.
Benson, this is a blog started by a guy who loves old buildings and historic neighborhoods. The blog is read by many people who enjoy the same, and work to keep it that way. A post celebrating the restoration of an attractive old building, in yesterday’s Waverly thread, is hardly reason to get your blood pressure up. The Garden State Brickface muddle that preceeded it could not be construed as attractive or desireable by too many people here. I don’t know why you continue to read Brownstoner, if you are going to get your back up every time Mr. B. posts about preservation, restoration, or the use of period style materials, and a number of people agree. It’s like getting upset with Sports Illustrated because they keep talking about sports. Sheesh.
Nomi;
Varied??? Really??? Could have fooled me on the Waverly thread.
Nomi — agreed! And on that note: imagine how much we’d be complaining if a Starbucks opened up there. We should be welcoming this place with open arms.
I don’t really know what the “Brownstoner mindset” is. It seems fairly varied to me. But then, I don’t venture into the OT depths . . .
I just wanna say: People pour their heart and soul and time and money into these places. Christ. Give them an effing chance.
Gotta love the internet. All my life in the Heights, piano lessons as a kid right near this cafe…
… and this is the first I’ve ever heard it called Willowtown (and to think the Willowtown Association has been around for over 50 years).
What was wrong with Waverly??????
