The Bean

There is something familiar about the Coffee Bean in the East Village and that’s why every single person in the neighborhood seems to go there – the baristas know everyone and everyone brings their dogs. There are dog biscuits by the counter and locals by the big windows, working on their Great American Novel. It's the familiarity of the Bean that makes it so tempting to walk inside whenever you pass.

And for the record: they've in the progress of relocating at I write, so this will be some of the last pictures from their 3rd and 1st location.
