ReplyDeleteWell, yeah. It's one thing to have a cupcake and a cup of coffee...(I can't believe I just wrote that...) but beer/wine will likely make people linger, congregate, talk louder... And by having beer/wine available, there's potential to attract people who have already been drinking — people who otherwise may not have stopped by...
ReplyDeletethe ol' bait and switch.
ReplyDeleteI don't even want to hear the word cupcake any more. I used to have such fond associations, too: school bake sales, birthday parties. No more. Thanks, SJP.
ReplyDeleteThat umbrella is hardly harmless...sure there's just one now, but wait until the rain ebbs and that happy orange tulip top multiplies and takes over the entire sidewalk like a swarm of fruit flies to rancid beer and cream cheese frosting...so hungry.
ReplyDeleteThat damn umbrella poked all THREE of my eyes out yesterday. I was so upset I had to go in there and buy a cupcake laced with vodka and morphine.
ReplyDeleteYou bought the last one!
ReplyDeleteThey should put a sign out that says "Carrie Bradshaw ate here". Cupcakes, along with larger chunks of NYC culture have forever been ruined thanks to the creators of "Sex in the City".
