Wine shops aplenty

As ye olde 'hood develops, there is a clear pattern of what comes first and what comes second. First is some cafes, and to those of you who are paying attention, there are very many around:
- Communitea
- Cafe Henry
- Paris (the muffin place across from the Korean grocer on Vernon)
- Queens Court bakery
- Coming soon is one down on 50th and Vernon
- and we all remember Ten63

Meanwhile, there springs up one of each kind of restaurant
- A cheap Chinese place (already around, usually)
- Some pizzerias (same)
- A french place (Tournesol)
- Mexican (Creek)
- Italian (in our case, were here already)
- Diners (usually "already" around)
- Upscale-ish, nice-ish (Domaine, Meridien)
- Japanese (Wasabi Boy on Jackson near Ct Sq)
- Thai (Tuk Tuk)
- What else are we waiting for? Maybe an Indian (though there is the Five Star)

Next...apparently is wine and liquor shops.

The latest, near Court Square, makes #4 in our little neighborhood.

It's a great store! Open till 8 on weekdays and Saturday and till 6 on Sundays. Big space, maybe less "personal" than some of the other options, but has enough room to sport a good selection. They had LICNYC's favorite affordable Cabernet Sauvignon -- Wyatt. Check it out when you are there.

And by the way -- everything is on sale through the end of April. Buying time!
