The weather is warming up and it is time to start thinking of the next Cafe FISTFA. I discussed this with a number of people at the last FISTFA. The least conflicted date appeared to be Saturday, May 31st. Time: 1 PM. We can further discuss this at the next FISTFA which will be next weekend. In regard to location, following my revisit yesterday, I am inclined to the old Williamsburg location again. The place of the much lamented Read Cafe has been taken by a cafe so new that they don't even have a sign up or even a printed menu yet. They are reviving the backyard patio but the patio will not be finished for another two weeks. There is also an indoor flea market on N 6th St that we had previously missed. The advantage of the Williamsburg location is that the Bedford Ave subway stop drops you right in the middle of the action. My other favorite location, Court St in Brooklyn, would necessitate a 6 or 7 black walk just to get to the start of the street. Since most of the Cafe FISTFAns seem to be athletically challenged, Williamsburg seemed to be the more sensible location.
There is a new grocery on Beford Ave, the Spuyten Duyvil Grocery. While there I picked up a bottle of Eclipse Coffee syrup, which the label claimed is the official state drink of Rhode Island. Help me out here. Do we have an official state drink of New York? If not, I nominate the egg cream. I plan to use this syrup at the next FISTFA to create an egg cream for Rhode Island by adding some coffee syrup to the milk of an egg cream. We will see how that turns out.
