I gotta add...Foccacino? Was good? Had great sandwiches?? We must've been going to different Foccacinos, because the Foccacino I remember was notable in the fact that it was the first place I'd ever eaten at that did NOT know *how* to make a sandwich. I mean, sandwiches...they're not rocket science. The ones we would get from Foccacino were made as if someone was describing a sandwich in a another language to a translator who was describing how to make a sandwich to a computer who was writing an algorithm and telling a robot to make the sandwich. They were just SO wrong. p.s. I gotta add…Foccacino? Was good? Had great sandwiches??

We had been eagerly anticipating it's opening from our apt across the street for FOREVER, and once they did, they did not disappoint. Their iced coffee is delicious, not bitter or weak---we think it's because they're not lazy yet (like Choice.) We had breakfast there on Saturday and it was yummy; I've been in there during lunchtime coveting people's enormous salads, too, but haven't eaten lunch there yet. And they are super friendly and relaxed--we think it's because they're not jaded and sick of their customers yet (um, like Tiny Cup.) Great for people-watching, great location (um, so smart, make sure you open early to get all the G train peeps heading to work) and totally family friendly. <3 Cafe Colador is AWESOME.

Go to the site for Million Trees NYC to see what you can do to get trees planted near you: http://www.milliontreesnyc.org/html/home/home.shtml All that's needed is the address of a tree plot and the submission of a form through the site. Don't know how quickly they respond to the forms, but it's a start. Folks can also plant trees themselves in empty tree plots. Not sure how one gets a tree plot put into sidewalks or spots that have been filled with concrete, which I know is a big issue on many streets in this area, ours included.
