As noted here, Porto Rico Importing Co. on St. Mark's Place near Second Avenue is temporarily closing starting today for what the owners, the Longo family, describe as a "much-needed facelift."
According to a sign on the front window for patrons: "We will be reshelfing, fixing the floor, moving the ice machine, and adding a better drip brewer."
Workers wasted no time getting started, as these photos by EVG regular Lola Sáenz show...
The coffee-and-tea shop will be back open the day after Labor Day — Sept. 4.

This place is great but the renovation is about 10 years overdue. Hopefully they will get a better coffee maker than the old 10 cup Mr Coffee machine.
unfortunately anything that is old, has patina, charm and a little bit wonky has no place in the EV today. A new population prefers new, sterile and hermetically sealed otherwise they won't step foot in an establishment.
