Openings & Closings: About Coffee, Big Bag, Taqueria Menu, New Dessert Shop, Bra Smyth

About Coffee, that serves coffee and pastries, only non-stop during 445 Columbus Avenue between 81st and 82nd Streets. “Their Soho store is good — really happy to have them here,” writes a tipster Mike. “Was in currently vocalization with a owner, Hany. A lot of coffee in a neighborhood, though other than Starbucks (which is awful) there aren’t any boutique spots for a few blocks. Nice addition.” Mark P. adds: “Prices are rival ($3 espresso shot and a interior is good and spacious.” About Coffee has a plcae downtown and one in Brooklyn. They explain their story here.

West End Taqueria is now open during a dilemma of 96th and West End and Adam took a print of a menu. Chicken flautas “drowned” in immature sauce, $8.50. Fresh guac, $12.50. Shrimp tacos, $4.25. See a whole menu here.

Big Bag only non-stop during 221 West 79th Street, a former home of Voila Chocolat. “Bags, scarves, trinket and a like,” writes Rachel.

A new dessert shop is removing prepared to open in a former home of Rita‘s Water Ice during 92nd and Broadway, that has been dull for over a year. The name of a emporium is stil unclear, though a shutter creates it transparent what they’ll be selling. Thanks to Taylor for a tip.

Bra Smyth has sealed a plcae during 2191 Broadway (78th). They asked us to post a following message:

“Bra Smyth has desired being on a Upper West Side, we have felt a genuine clarity of tie with a village and a many constant customers. There is a special feeling of regard in the area and a singular fastening among a residents.  The benefaction disappearing sell marketplace and 2 and years of struggling underneath scaffolding done it some-more fit to join a Madison Avenue Store. We pierce a accessible staff, a years of wise imagination and higher preference to a new home during 905 Madison between 72nd and 73rd Look brazen to saying we on a Upper East Side. 212-772-9400.”

      Big Bag sealed it’s W. 72nd Street plcae and relocated to W. 79th Street.

        Is that a aged Goodwill Thrift Shop location? Nice to see that it’s not another spike salon or dungeon phone store. I’ll be interlude in; it’s only opposite from my favorite UWS haunt, a smashing Knitty City.

      I stopped in for lunch during West End Taqueria. we was inspired and so routinely 2 tacos would have been fine. But we attempted a shrimp, pork, and beef, with a Jarritos Tamarind soda. Waitress use was pleasant, they were personification Carlos Santana during a low, listenable volume, and with taxation and tip it was 17 bucks.
      Tasted terrific, will go behind some dusk and pierce drink 😉

      Needed to takeout West End Taqueria since no beer.

      I theory it’ll be a improved finish in Winter, what with being inside and all (and maybe beer). Better prices during a lorry if it’s going to be takeout.

    6. Robert says:

      I doubt a west finish taqueria will last. The place is costly and also a super tacos lorry during a dilemma of 96st is cheaper. Super tacos and West finish Taqueria are owned by a same person.

      • dannyboy says:

        Perhaps a food lorry is scheming for their ultimate passing in their tide plcae by opening a West End Taqueria.

        Chase did a same. Gristedes closed. we theory Extell is changing a combination of a area again

        • Roberto says:

          No a taco lorry will go infront of a Key food during 97st thats their second mark if a dilemma of 96st is not accessible and if they get private thats where they will be at.

      This ‘under a scaffolding’ forgive for unwell businesses troubles me. we am constant to really few stores and to those we am, we am constant since they sell things we want, need, contingency transport distant to get otherwise, or cant get elsewhere during all.

      Are there people—actual, so called ‘loyal’ customers— who, when scaffolding goes adult during their favourite places, contend to themselves, friends and family, ‘Oh rats, cant go there any more—we’ll have to go without. Scaffolding—I will NOT travel into any store underneath scaffolding.”

      Anybody? What is a scenario? Even as a author perplexing to suppose (let alone write) a stage in a move, we can’t.

      Anyone?

        It restricts tourists and infrequent shoppers who get distracted, no one thinks construction awnings assistance business. That said, we upheld a grill with outside seating underneath a construction awning. They hung strings of angel lights and it looked really mouth-watering and appealing. And we had to wait for a seat.

      • woodcider says:

        Business don’t tarry but a solid tide of new customers. Scaffolding interferes with visibility. You can’t lift in new clients if they can’t see you.

    8. dannyboy says:

      Filicori Zecchini has served espresso for 100 years. Lots of experience.

    9. T says:

      What are we in tacoland? It feels like roughly each other new grill is a taco place. In a past we had a solidified yogurt capital, afterwards a liquid of bakeries. Very weird

      • dannyboy says:

        Influx of Californians?

        Texans?

    10. Miranda Smith says:

      Just what we need adult here. Handbags and some-more coffee. What about a supermarket??

      • BillyNYC says:

        Miranda,
        There’s something about a area that supermarkets don’t like?

        Now we consternation what could that be ?

    11. BillyNYC says:

      About Coffee?
      Not another Coffee place and this is right subsequent to Starbucks and a retard from Billy‘s Bakery. Not to discuss a $1. inexpensive coffee during Andy’s deli.

    12. Linda says:

      I’ve shopped during a former w.72nd Big Bag store and am so happy it has changed north. They have NYC’s best-curated preference of bags,and poetic accessories. Beautiful jewelry, too. My father loves a trek he purchased there, and my daughter and we are crazy about a bags.

    13. Uwesider says:

      The West End Taqueria is delicious! we wish they make a go of a tough location.

    14. Emily says:

      The name of a new mark holding over Rita’s space on Broadway is Gelotti. Original plcae in NJ and this is their initial NYC location.
