A new bookstore and cafe opened this weekend just off the Montrose L train station. The Little Bookshop has taken on the small retail space that had been Danny’s Cafe that at one time was a sit-down red sauce joint attached to Danny’s Pizza. The pizzeria remains in the corner retail location. The retail space has been fully renovated to serve as a bookstore, coffee shop, and eventually a bar. The Little Bookshop so far is serving up coffee, but is currently seeking a liquor license to sell alcohol.

The bar at 759 Grand Street has been replaced by Coral, a new Mexican restaurant. The retail space has not had much luck. A bar, La Oficina opened last summer, after having replaced Cafe Zouave, which lasted less than a year. Coral doesn’t seem to have a website or instagram. Photos posted by the owner to the Google listing include a menu — drinks, desserts, and a note that says its “cash only.” Additional photos show tacos, but the menu isn’t displayed, so who knows?

There’s nothing online about Moka and Mo, a new coffee shop coming to the corner of Grand and Union. Moka and Mo sounds like it could be a new, copycat brand of Middle-eastern inspired coffee shops that have been popping up across the city recently. Mokacafe and Moka & Co are two brands that come to mind. The location had previous been home to Cafe Argentino which suffered from serious fire damage in 2022 and never reopened.

Signs for a new grocery store at 597 Grand Street have covered the windows. Lidl is an international, German-based discount grocery. The chain has a fan-following similar to Aldi, another German discount grocer, with the first US Lidl stores opening in 2017. Brooklyn and Queens have a few existing Lidl locations, but the Grand Street location will be the closest to Manhattan, which has none.

Incredible that @edible does not actually sell edibles.

Why would the Canadians do this to us.
