--
Thayer, an independent press, is moving closer to opening day for its bookstore-cafe at 99 Avenue B between Sixth Street and Seventh Street. (First reported here.)
Founder Matt Lally, an East Village resident, plans to have a soft opening early next month. The two-level space will feature coffee drinks by Irving Farm New York and pastries by Balthazar. There will be grab-n-go soft drinks too. Beer and wine will be available in the evening.
Thayer will host various literary events and offer a curated selection of books and magazines for sale. There will be tables and chairs for drinks and books.
Daily hours: 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the week, with a 9 p.m. close on weekends.

welcome thayer, can't have too many coffee shops.
Definitely can have too many shops, said the 90's.
But can not have too many book stores, that's for sure.
I wonder if it will mainly be a platform for their publications or a wider book selection store along with coffee shop?
Books and magazines and coffee? WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME!!!!
Interested to check this out and learn more!
This was Manitoba’s? Interesting location for a bookstore, hopefully they survive a bit.
Welcome and best of luck!
The Fleshtones live at Manitoba's, with Handsome Dick joining in for anchors. Good memory.
