Outside v. cool coffee shop Think Coffee: Bleecker & Bowery. In addition to being fair trade, Think’s blends are organic & shade grown (bird friendly; conserves biodiversity) offering the perfect triumvirate in conscious coffee ideals! There’s artwork featured on the shop walls and the coffee shop functions as a mini-gallery, with art receptions periodically. I’ve frequented the Think location at Mercer and W. 3rd Streets, near Washington Square Park, the most. You can catch music and writers reading their work there some evenings. (Note: The Mercer Street location is also very much an NYU hangout but hey! there’s free wifi and an easy going vibe.) This photo captures where Bleecker meets Bowery, a moment in time, on a Sunday afternoon in July. The third (and only other - at this moment!) Think Coffee location is the newest & I wasn’t even aware it existed til I started writing this post! It’s near Union Square - Fourth Avenue between E. 12th and E. 13th Streets.

I met one of my favorite friends here. And, I used to live right across the street. Literally.
