Brooklyn Nibbles: Lonelyville is Toast

July 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment

This news about Lonelyville, the cool cafe on Prospect Park Southwest comes from Brooklynometry, a blog we like a lot. The Windsor Terrace cafe, it turns out, is being sold (which may or may not mean the space will have another cafe). Here’s Brooklynometry’s report, in part:

…It’s a gem adored by the neighborhood for all of the features that make is especially especial: the beautiful garden in back, the coffee, cupcakes, sandwiches, beer, wine, and don’t forget, unsalted popcorn for the ducks in Prospect Lake. They have adirondack chairs and a dog water bowl in front. There’s penny candy in antique jars and a collection of thermoses so commanding it has to be viewed as art. After 2 years of business it’s up, running, wonderful, and self-sustaining but the owners need to simplify their lives and hope someone will take it on…If you haven’t visited, go soon, if only to appreciate the thermos collection. I wonder if that will be included in the sale.

Sad news given the shortage of such places in that part of the neighborhood.
