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.
