Streetlevel: Lonelyville Makes Windsor Terrace Lonelier
Huh. Yesterday, we were reporting about cafés doing good business in Bed Stuy, so what’s going on over here? Lonelyville, a very popular coffee shop in Windsor Terrace, has shuttered its doors.

Huh. Yesterday, we were reporting about cafés doing good business in Bed Stuy, so what’s going on over here? Lonelyville, a very popular coffee shop in Windsor Terrace, has shuttered its doors. Not only that, but the building, rumored to be owned by the ladies who ran Lonelyville, is for sale, handled by Massey Knakal (this downloadable Powerpoint presentation shows the three-story building on the market for $1.25 million).

I for one hope Rob doesn’t shut up cause he makes me laugh. You go Rob. Don’t know what Looky Lou’s beef is but whatever…

i got the biggest ‘tude thrown in my face at ozzies once because when i get iced coffee i dont want a cup of ice with 1/2 an ounce of coffee. i want mostly coffee and a little bit of ice. i was shocked when i asked for lite ice and this twerpish man-child scowled at me and said “uh the ice melts.”
