Are you a pizzeria? A bar? A lounge? A bakery? Clearly an identity crisis I don't need to have. The fact is, a noticeable contingent of Staten Island suffers from some sort of xenophobia and apparently no neighborhood is entirely safe. Lucky for us though that there are enough places not like that to give our patronage to!Jennhttp://karmabutton.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770060213372319221.post-65587701933124130772010-04-03T02:29:34.137-04:002010-04-03T02:29:34.137-04:00Let's get an army of Staten Island non-idiots ...Let's get an army of Staten Island non-idiots and take back the bar.<br /><br /><br />...but would it then turn back into said coke den?Rich Gilbertohttp://simusician.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4770060213372319221.post-33994688111398563082010-04-01T17:37:46.130-04:002010-04-01T17:37:46.130-04:00i don't get this sense of entitlement.

The atmosphere of Royal Crown immediately pops into mind- which, if it's anything like that place, I'll be avoiding like the plague. Despite great coffee and good pastries, the overly tan, juicy/victoria's secret PINK emblazoned velour clad crowds and their LOUD ass personas are enough to keep me from even the best cannoli.Denisenoreply@blogger.com
