Brownilocks and the 3 Bearistas
Once upon a time, there was a mousy haired boy named Brownilocks (or Scott, take your pick). He wanted some morning coffee on W 39th St.
First, Brownilocks stopped by Starbucks. “Ew. Too cookie-cutter,” he said.
So he walked half a block east. There he found Crave Cafe. “Dang, too indie,” he said. Usually this was far from being a problem. However, Crave Cafe’s over-indieness probably led to its closing its doors 4 months ago. It is STILL in process of being remodeled and re-opened as a much snazzier Javanaut. Someday Brownilocks will return here… if it ever decides to open again…
So he walked a half block west. There he found Room 39. “Ahh, just right,” he sighed. Room 39 is a very respectable little bistro. A good breakfast menu, good lunch menu, a classy dinner menu, and very pleasant staff.
All this, and they’re not above serving up some very fine coffee. The mochas here have consistently been brewed at a very high caliber of quality. This makes Brownilocks happy.
Then a bearista ate Brownilocks. The end.
//update: Bella recently opened at 1403 W. 39th St. Didn’t mean to leave them out of this 39th St round-up… I can only have 1 cup before work each day! Look for a review soon.

Room 39 makes the best Macchiato in town, bar none. I was just about to write about this myself.

What does over-indieness entail? out of curiosity
