I'd like to introduce you to my newest favorite coffee shop: Cafe Grumpy.
Located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, the coffee shop is open, airy -- and run but what seems to be a friendly crew.
The coffee is wonderful, and it's a good place to work for several hours, hang out and read the newspaper, or meet some friends for a capuccino and conversation.
You should go! (And consider making a lens about your favorite cafe.)
