The Wayside is now open on East 12th Street



A few readers told us that Wayside is now open at 139 E. 12th St. just west of Third Avenue...

The cafe took over for the long-closed D&M Convenience store.


We don't know too much about the Wayside (not to be confused with the Wayland). This was the info from the Wayside application filed ahead of the CB3/SLA committee meeting in August 2012:

The applicants, listed as Paul Typaldos and Andreas Typaldos, will run a small cafe that would be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday-Wednesday, and 7 a.m.-2 a.m. Thursday-Saturday. They describe the food as "simple organic fare: sandwiches, paninis, salads."

And according to the application, Paul Typaldos is a majority member in Greensquare Tavern over on West 21st Street.

...tried their iced coffee over the weekend. Very good, and everyone there was really friendly!

This place is fabulous. Awesome sandwiches and coffee. The best almond croissant I've ever had!!--I could eat a case of them.
A very discerning style. It's a hip place, and is fun and laid back, but it also cultivates this kind of sublime modern-urban sophistication. The lines of the wood, in unison with the lighting, have this almost Scandinavian architectural aesthetic. Dynamic, while comfortable. Also, it's a great place to have in the neighborhood because it isn't age-specific; that is to say, both students and professors could hang out there without any culture-clash. Also, they serve beer and wine in the evenings. Good alternative to noisy bars if you're not in the mood for that.
