The Patchen Avenue Cafe Gets Another Name?

Posted on May 25, 2010 by The Progressive Southside

Last month, we were trying to determine what to call this cafe, located at 212 Patchen Avenue (between MacDonough and Macon Streets).  It appears it has been renamed AGAIN – Pizza Burger + Fries Cafe? Or is the sign just reiterating the food they’re selling?  This is definitely confusing, since prior business signage is still [...]

What’s the Name of This Place? For Now, Call It CLOSED!

Posted on April 14, 2010 by The Progressive Southside

This rotating foodie place located at 212 Patchen Avenue (between Macon and MacDonough Streets) has had several names within a short period of time.  When I first covered the opening of this restaurant, it was the Brownstoner’s Cafe. Only two short weeks prior, it was called Orchid Cafe.  Right before that, it was called Want’z Pizza.  Man!  According to this [...]

258 Cafe CLOSED

Posted on March 29, 2010 by The Progressive Southside

Faithful reader Irving alerted us Thursday of a sign posted on the window of twofiftyeight Cafe (199 Malcolm X Boulevard, between Jefferson and Putnam Avenues) that said they were closed.  Say it isn’t so!  I thought it was a mistake.  I mean, I thought for sure they were opened on that warm Saturday last week.  I hiked [...]

A Visit to Le Sucre Coffee & Jazz Lounge

Posted on June 30, 2009 by The Changeling

Le Sucre Coffee and Jazz Lounge opened earlier this year, but it took me awhile drop by this cozy spot on Dekalb just off of Bedford Avenue. On the day I visited, both owners, Max and Jean, were there.

Once inside you’re immediately greeted by a mural of Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. Now [...]
