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.

Oranges, and derivative products such as juice, are so ubiquitous in the modern supermarket, most consumers take the fruit for granted. Yet, it wasn’t so long ago that citrus was a rare luxury cherished as a gift and reserved for the upper classes. Amazingly, the fruits we eat today are mainly cultivated hybrids grown from cloned trees and shipped all around the globe far from their place of origin.

The bar at 759 Grand Street has been replaced by Coral, a new Mexican restaurant.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.

30 years of international travel and the boarding experience from @delta was by far the worst.
Impressive how the @NYCTSubway just decided it was okay to park on the crosswalk. https://t.co/jln1a1fi2k
Replacing a garden with 123 units is not addressing the housing crisis. If it had been 1,230 housing units, it might have been worth the fight. We solve the housing shortage by allowing higher density everywhere in the city, not by paving over tiny pieces of greenspace.
