Report: Whynot Coffee expanding into the East Village

Catching up to this item in the Post from Monday... where Jennifer Gould Keil reported that Whynot Coffee is expanding in the city... including in the East Village.

Each of the locations has a theme ... the 40-seat shop at 14 Christopher St., which opened last month, is inspired by 1960s and 1970s Paris, with murals of Serge Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot...

Per the article:

The East Village coffee house will be based on “tattoo culture” and the Chelsea shop will be a “coffee island in the midst of an art gallery displaying work from upcoming artists,” a spokesperson said.

We reached out to the Whynot folks to learn where the East Village location might be... will let you know if we hear back... Are you familiar with Whynot? We're not... they serve La Colombe Coffee ...

    "Tattoo culture" do we need to encourage the kids to drink more coffee and get more tattoos? I've been to the 4th ave store and every table is always occupied by an NYU student that has set up a temporary dorm room extension. The location on Mercer ( I think) is even worse with everyone staring at a laptop and not a word is being spoken, kind of creepy for a supposed social public place. I hope the new one is nowhere near my home.

    Sounds like a cool idea! The concept will lend itself well to interior design. I'd rather see something like this in the East Village than another minimal looking white cube.
