And The Bean is back on Third Street! After the East Village coffeeshop was kicked out of its First Avenue home of nearly ten years to make way for a much needed Starbucks outpost, the java joint upped and moved down the block to Second Avenue. It still has all the coffee, bites, comfy seating, big windows and dog-friendly policy. Now it just has them a little further west. Plus, a lovely new mosaic by the local mosaic man, Jim Powers.

The Bean Bounces Back, Reopens In New Third Street Digs
Local Coffeehouse Rivalry Sparks Times' Interest
A coffee war is brewing in Crown Heights, so you know the NY Times is on the scene to count the bodies (and the beans). Two new coffee shops, The Pulp and the Bean and The Breukelen Coffee House, began trading insults and blog posts leading up to opening this month on Franklin Avenue, two blocks away from each other. Besides vows to “buy your coffee machines in about eight months when you decide to close up,” it's actually a pretty friendly fight, but the Times sees a bigger picture, commenting on the neighborhood history and the new opportunities for local rivalries to bicker through the internet. The owner of The Pulp and the Bean sums it up nicely though: “I’d rather see more coffee shops and restaurants open than bodegas and nail salons.”
