Unrelated Atlantic Ave thing. The other day I went into what I thought was a mens' vintage store (grungy digs, no sign). Turned out to be Paul Smith. I had to do that embarrassing look at the tag, realize I can't close to afford anything, and then browse for a little while longer to pretend I wasn't running out on sticker shock thing.

Have been to DB a lot lately to harass a realtor whose family lives on Joralemon. Let me tell you, nothing burns quite as much as walking down block after block of ridic brownstones in the most expensive neighborhood in the entire borough, trying to get a measly one-month deposit out of a family that you know is rolling in it.

How can there be male ladybugs? (Laurel), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 14:27 (seventeen years ago)

Actually for all I know they're mortgaged up to their crooked eyeballs, but that's not my problem.

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 17:34 (seventeen years ago)

ian, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 17:41 (seventeen years ago)

Speaking of thin-crust pizza (cross-thread), has anyone ever actually tried the Fatoosh "pitza"?

Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:00 (seventeen years ago)

nooo but i have tried similar pitza from Bedouin Tent/Black Iris: decent but nothing to write home about is what i recall

Surmounter, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:01 (seventeen years ago)

Damnit, just realized today would have been perfect day to finally try Nicky's, but forgot and made Trader Joe burrito instead.

Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:03 (seventeen years ago)

the Slope Fatoosh is crazy pricey compared to other local pita joints.

Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:03 (seventeen years ago)

Btw, did you guys know we have one of those clover-machine coffee shops on Atlantic? I went in and tried it recently. The lady was a little overeager with her coffee talk (even for me) and made me uncomfortable. The clover coffee is pretty good, but not good enough that I'd consistently pay a big markup for it. Kind of redic when you see how much the machines cost.

Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:05 (seventeen years ago)

what is clover coffee, pray tell?

Surmounter, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:05 (seventeen years ago)

nickys is not that great imo not sure why it gets so much luv - i mean its a decent sandwich but whatevs

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:06 (seventeen years ago)

where is the clover @

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:06 (seventeen years ago)

Atlantic Ave. near Hoyt. I believe it's called Clover Cafe. I do want to go back at some point and see if their espresso drinks are any good.

Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:09 (seventeen years ago)

surmounter - the clover is a $10k single cup drip coffee machine/computer that supposedly makes the best coffee in the world

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:11 (seventeen years ago)

Surmounter:

Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:11 (seventeen years ago)

the clover coffee machine is fed entirely on apples from the orchards where the coffee is grown

Having the machine in the neighborhood is a *big deal* because since Starbucks bought the company the new machines aren't being sold to anyone else, as I understand it, and there weren't that many sold pre-Starbucks.

Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:15 (seventeen years ago)

has starbucks even started using them yet

ice cr?m, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:17 (seventeen years ago)

wait so starbucks uses the clover?

Surmounter, Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:17 (seventeen years ago)

Hmm, maybe I'll study there tomorrow. It's closer to me than Tea Lounge (which kind of sucks anyway) and Tazza has a no-computer policy.

Bonobos in Paneradise (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 March 2009 18:17 (seventeen years ago)

Apparently only select starbucks have the clover right now. I have not seen one yet.
