Post Punk Kitchen co-host Isa Chandra took time out from finishing her cookbook to ask: "Can you see if someone wants to open a cafe with me? … I’ve been planning on opening a veg cafe restaurant for awhile actually. I have a business plan and everything, I just don’t have enough money. But yes, I’m serious!"
Here is one location option: $1750; 720 sf + basement, corner of Washington Ave. and Dean St.
Here’s another: $3000; 900 sf, Washington closer to Eastern Parkway (WARNING: incredibly annoying ad copy)
Another: $2450; 1,000 sf, "up and coming" Prospect Heights area
Another: $3500; 1,300 sf, Carlton Ave. at Pacific St.
I think Isa is on to something. A well-done vegetarian restaurant would draw people from all over the city, and an up-and-coming corner like Washington and Dean would be a good place to start, if you can squeeze a kitchen and seating into 720 sq. ft. plus basement. Who’s in? (Bonus: Name the "up and coming" location of the storefront in the photo.)
I think that is a great idea!! Although I am not a vegetarian I do enjoy my veggies 🙂 I think the Dean Street location is the best (maybe because I live around the corner). I would love to see you guys sell some ice cream or gellato (sp?). There really is no place to sit and have ice cream in the neighborhood besides the ice cream store on 7th Ave.
