    Bracing like a hobbit in a Tolkien novel as the trolls sent from Mordor get closer and closer.

    Overkill. There's a Starbucks on 17th Street and First, 9th Street and 2nd, and 15th Street and 3rd. They're officially the new Subway.

    Anon 6:31pm - A few years ago, there were Starbucks on 9th and 2nd, St Marks and 3rd, and another in Astor Place. I'm pretty sure Subway is the new Starbucks.

    What this neighborhood needs is a good vacuum cleaner to get rid of this fratrashmosphere.

    Give a huge THUMBS DOWN every time you walk by and say, "BOOOOOOO!!!! No Chains in the village!"

    Patrons will "enjoy" their a little less.

    That is their business model- put one every few blocks so you're never more than a 5 minute walk away from them- it's like a security blanket for tourists so they don't have to go into those scary bodegas
