ICYMI: Blank Street debuts on Avenue A

As noted back on Friday, Blank Street debuted its third East Village outpost since late October...  at 149 Avenue A between Ninth Street and 10th Street.

And it joins the one at 36 Third Ave. and in the Bowery Market. 

The Avenue A location is open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and carries products from local brands, including King Street Baking Co. and King David Tacos. 

Meanwhile, in other coffee news along Avenue A... Peter Brownscombe reports that a regular cup of coffee at Ray's Candy Store is now $1.25, a price increase of 25 cents.

As it has been widely reported, the price of coffee continues to escalate ("skyrocketing," per Fast Company).

Still, as Peter notes, the cup for $1.25 is an excellent value for your money. And FYI: a regular drip at Blank Street sells for $2.50.
