Vox Pop Turns 5 (and how I didn’t exactly see it)
The Vox Pop coffeehouse on Cortelyou Road celebrated it’s fifth birthday last Saturday, same day I was in Flatbush for the art studio open house. Too bad I wasn’t able to stay for it (studio tour ended at 4pm, birthday bash didn’t get underway until 8pm), but I did stop in that afternoon.
You see, I’ve been in there a couple of times before, and haven’t been all that excited by it. But it’s the kind of place its many fans rave about, and I wanted to give it another try. Who knows, maybe the stars were just lined up the wrong way when I’ve visited in the past. Besides – I know there were issues with a temporary closing and reopening under new management since I was there last. Time for another visit.
Final verdict: I like this place.
I used to work at a coffeeshop in Smallbany, but I’d never make it here. My handwriting sucks.
I forget what kind of music they were playing here last time, but on my Saturday visit, someone had the radio tuned into a station that played the kind of music that made me a fan of the podcasts on A Brooklyn Life.
I’m not sure if Count Dracula in the bottom left of this picture was a holdout from Halloween or just there for the birthday party. Either way, I’m about to get treated to…
Caffeine + Chocolate = Coffeehouse Crush
