Starbucks in New York City



PLEASE NOTE
The stores pictured below are labeled with information that comes directly from the official Starbucks web site. The only alterations I have made are to remove certain punctuation marks. Please do not report any errors in the names or spellings of streets or cities to me, but rather to Starbucks. Once they fix the error on their end, my database will pick it up. I will fill missing photograph dates as I have time, and I will continue to try and obtain store opening dates.

Looking for a place to sleep in your car? Try Front St a block or two down from this store. Late at night and on weekends the area is almost dead (except for occasional skateboard punks) and you are not likely to be bothered.

This store is unusual in two respects--check out that cool flag with the Starbucks logo. And inside, morning rush customers pour their own coffee from holders set out on a counter. The local art displayed on the wall (at least when I was there) is really cool. This is also Second store I've encountered next to a Sandella's (a crappy delicatessin, if one can so judge based solely on one croissant).

Oh, and let's not forget to point out one the view of the two World Trade Center towers in the background.

It seems like most of the stores I've visited have a mix of old-style and new-style chairs, so it was striking to see nothing but the new style of chair at this store, the one with the seat and back in one curved piece, but in black instead of the usual tan.

This store maintains a separate register on a stand apart from the main counter, presumably for the morning rush. There is also a separated seating area with a wooden floor.

Okay... that is REALLY weird. I've found some really strange data spouted by the Starbucks Store Locator, such as Asian locations plotted in the middle of the U.S., but this is the oddest name for a store yet. I mean, it has an address, so why not use it? Did the person entering the data just get lazy or what?

As for the store itself, it is unusual in that you have to walk down a ramp and reverse direction to reach the counter.

This location has plenty of style throughout. First thing you'll notice is a large mural on the back wall depicting an audience dressed for the theater. I wondered if it might have been painted for a former occupant, but a barista revealed that a friend of his had done the work. Paintains in simular classic styles adorn the other walls. Plush curtains and mirrors throughout the store, including some that server to block the light coming in the ample picture window. I do think the corporate-style furniture classes with the unique couches, benches, and tables. And the overhead lights--I can only describe them as funky because I don't know what else to say.

I was told that this store stands on the site of the Dove Tavern. It is believed that Nathan Hale, a martyr soldier of the American Revolution, was hanged there.

Atlantic Terminal (UCO), Brooklyn

This was the best photo I managed to get before being stopped by NYPD, claiming no photography was allowed in the area. I was suspicious of his claims, but given that over 1000 people were being arrested over in Manhattan that week during the Republican Convention, I couldn't take the chance. So go vote for Bush and ensure that Ashcroft can continue to keep us safe from those evil terrorists!


We're lucky I managed to get this photo before NYPD, serving and protecting, stopped m e from taking any more photographs. Hurray for homeland security!
