Connecticut Muffin


Finally, Connecticut Muffin has opened. The place is big, clean with tons of room to sit. They offer good bagels, muffins, and scones. They even have milk and chocolate milk in a box for those with young kids who want there milk fix. For lunch they will have panini and salads. I bought a red velvet cup cake and a piece of chocolate cake. My wife and I did not have them yet, but can't wait to try it.
They will be offering waiter service soon for lunch and weekend brunch.

Connecticut Muffin is opening next to The Farm on Adderly on Cortelyou Road.
Kensington Blog has discussions regarding the latest news regarding Connecticut Muffin opening on Cortelyou Road and rumors of Trader Joe's coming to Church Ave.
The New York Times Fashion & Style Section features an article on Ditmas Park's own Vox Pop and digs deeper into the notion of serving "fair trade" coffee.

Flatbush Family Network - Shopping Newkirk - What's Your Favorite

Where do you shop at Newkirk Plaza?
And, what do you like to buy?
I'm new in the area and I have had a great time discovering all that
is new here - and on Cortelyou Road. One project in my new job at the
Flatbush Development Corporation is to find out what kind of shopping
and eating people do at Newkirk. I've been going into the stores and
restaurants and discovered so many great things. But it is the regular
customers who really know where to find the best of everything.
- Is it the stewed chicken at Fisherman's Cove?
- The earrings at Royal Market?
- The bargain designer eyewear at Veyana?
- The spinach pie at Cha's?
- Or, is it the fact that you can get a newspaper, fill a
prescription, buy fresh fish and pick out a good bottle of wine all at
a subway stop?
It would be great if you took a minute to respond with 2-3 of your
favorites shops and restaurants and what you like to buy there. Keep
it short if you like... just write whatever comes to mind. It'll be
interesting to see what everyone has to say.
I know many of you may want to respond with what new things you'd like
to see, and that's ok too. But the first thing I'm hoping to find out
and to let others know about, is all the great things already here -
right under our noses.
Thank you,
Phillip

Re: [FlatbushFamilyNetwork] Shopping Newkirk - What's Your Favorite?
I just moved here 2 months ago and was pleasantly surprised to find so much
so close to our house. I still don't know all the store names yet but I am
in the place next to Almac, with the fruit & veggies out front, 4 times a
week. They get fresh cannoli from Bay Ridge daily and let me tell you they
are way too good! They also have organic milk about $1 cheaper per half
gallon than the C-Town (?) on E 16th. Almac is a godsend. Period. The
bagels on Newkirk are, in my families opinion, not great but we were spoiled
living a block from Bagel World on Court St. We love Loduca Pizza, have
decided that Chinese place across the st from the big laundry place on
Newkirk rocks and can't stand that Duncan Donuts won't let customers use the
bathroom. Pisses me off to no end yet I still go there for coffee & ice
cream. It's also amazing that there are Two banks right there in the plaza.
The jerk chicken at Fisherman's Cove is phenomenal though not as good as
mine of course ;) I just wish they jerked chicken breasts; it's just legs
there. The deli at the corner where Almac is makes the most amazing warm
turkey sandwich; he chops up the turkey slices on the grill, on wheat with
swiss - yum. So that's it for now, still exploring! I need to find fresh
mozzarella closer than PPW, a really great place to get my shoes/boots
re-soled, shined etc. I'd also love to find a better butcher, with hanger
steak, more selection .. someone who will ask me how thick I want the steaks
cut.
