I met him this morning at a coffee tasting session organized by his company and hosted by Franny’s Restaurant, here in Brooklyn.

Franny’s will be hosting coffee tastings every Friday this month at 10am, so just show up and surrender yourself to an excellent education in the complex art of coffee cupping. Counter Culture uses your comments, in addition to the opinions of those attending simultaneous cuppings throughout the east coast, to complete the feedback loop with coffee growers in developing Africa and their roaster here in the U.S. It also doesn’t hurt to let Franny herself know exactly what you think about coffee she may very well purchase.

I, for one, love the plan. The circle at GAP is a swirling vortex of metal that few pedestrians and cyclists dare enter. Dividing traffic into two directions going up each side of the plaza seems like the most sensible way to reduce the vehicular danger in the area and open up access to the fountain.
