Walking out yesterday for our morning coffe and bagel, we spied the early signs of spring in our neighborhood. Yes, for all of you in the borough of towers (Manhattan) and other places north, you might be interested to learn that the crocuses are raising their sleepy heads and poking their stiff little selves through the frigid February soil. Flowers will follow in a few weeks. Stay tuned.
Little, tender crocus shoots coming up in mid February.
We love our new-found coffee shop. Great coffee, wonderful bagels, friendly employees and Mary, the owner, is the nicest. Goodbye Starbucks. Hello, Prospect Perks on the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Sterling Place, just 2 blocks from our house. Usually, we'll hit the gym a few times a week and then treat ourselves to coffee a bagel. You see, we have to put back the calories that we lost at the gym.
Our morning coffee and a bagel is here at Prospect Perks Cafe.
Mary's son owns a restaurant around the corner, a barbecue place, which we have yet to try: Biscuit. You can find it by spotting the pig out front beckoning customers in.
Say hello to Mr. Piggy at Biscuit on Flatbush Avenue.

You giving up Starbucks is like Andrew Jackson not believing in underwear. Eh, I mean Gerald Ford. How come? I thought Starbucks was it. Oh well, dreams just fade away and neer do wells go to the tides with those dreams. Too bad!

Actually Zabar's has much better coffee than Starbucks anyday!! And it's much cheaper($4.99/$5.99 a pound!)
Try mixing 3/4 Colombian with 1/4 Fr/Ital. beans... grind fine and use a drip style coffe maker. (Plus a little 1/2 & 1/2 if you take cream!).
