Coffee & Sympathy

The Victory on State and Hoyt is closed. I'm wondering if the block is cursed since Kili shut down recently too. Sarcastic signs on the door window is trying to drive traffic to Building on Bond, that is taking on the V staff.

You can still get coffee at the Little Sweet Cafe on the block (truly miniature), but V was pretty fun and I'll be sure to have a coffee for the Victory....at...eh ra...the Little Sweet.

Elsewhere, I got to stop by the Best Buy in the Atlantic Center and it feels sort of damp in a way. It has pretty hilarious reading reviews on BestBuy.com ("they should call this 'worst buy') but it's not quite as heinous as the slander. However, the selection isn't quite as expansive.

Brooklyn Fare is finally finishing up their expansion; yesterday I was full-on glory walking around the now double-the-size market: more meat, more brands, more selection, this is a serious supermarket now and ready to be the shit in an area that competes with the generic (Pathmark, which is awesome no digs at that, then Key Foods, Gristedes, Concord), the chic (Trader Joe's), and the upscale (Garden of Eden). Very stoked about this, all around amazing.

In honor, and become I'm lazy, here's The Living End:

Some Food2 News: 12,000 Dunkin' Donut contest! I gotta go to the BATHroom

The good people over at Food2 have let the world in on some sweet sweet love: a doughnut idea worth 12,000 dollars. Now as an occasional fan of the wonderful texture of doughnuts, my favorite always being strawberry filled ones from DD (none of that jelly crap), I have to say this should affect NYC and Brooklyn in the ever constant battle of Starbucks vs. DD (in terms of coffee price and taste).

Or maybe not, but it's always good for a sound bite (this morning I'm just on fire). You choose from a host of flavors in each category, there's a public vote in May with a winner announced on June 5th, and that doughnut gets duplicated for America to chow down on.

Here's mine:
It's called the PB & StrawJelly.
