Gee, all my favorite people are from Brooklyn, y'know what I mean...Sandy Koufax, Mary Tyler Moore, The Notorious BIG, The Notorious RBG, Rita Hayworth, Bernie Sanders, Judge Judy, Eddie Murphy, Mel Brooks, identical cousins Patty & Cathy Lane rockin' in Brooklyn Heights, and of course, Barbra...and if I was living and breathing Brooklyn, I think I'd come here often. I only discovered this convivial cafe by accident when I was waiting to meet my friend Carlos at the Brooklyn Museum. I was almost an hour early coming from Lower Manhattan on the 2, so of course, I looked on the Yelp app.
My objective was to find a quality cup of coffee nearby as it was getting colder than a witch's tit. I found Lincoln Station just a couple of blocks away, and it was certainly abuzz with activity as most of the seats were occupied, especially around the central communal table (photo: http://bit.ly/2UTB6TF). They appear to specialize in comfort food from pulled pork sandwiches to rotisserie chicken. But I was on a clock, so I got me a $2.75 Americano to go (photo: http://bit.ly/2SIyElA). It was a soothing brew made with premium La Colombe beans. I'm sure I'll make it back to Prospect Heights some day soon when the weather is better, and here I'll be.
