Who will gentrify the gentrifiers?
[Sarah's gchat message: something about how there is no decent chai in Park Slope]
me: ugh. it's tough.
me: they're all so sweet
me: you are talking about chai tea, right?
Sarah: Right? And the one at Baked is the absolute WORST!
me: as a non coffee drinker this is my burden
Sarah: Brittanny and I keep forgetting that it's so bad and ordering it there!
me: you know... i seem to remember Ozzy's has a decent one
me: there's like two kinds out there. one is the super sweet kind. but then there's this nutty variety... and i think that's what ozzy's uses
Sarah: Maybe. I was in Carroll Gardens yesterday, and I thought the Tea Lounge might have been okay--but that Tea Lounge closed too!
me: oh sad.
me: it's pretty sad when starbucks has the best chai latte around.
Sarah: I know! That's where I went instead!
me: well, i would check out ozzys sometime and let me know if it's still decent. i actually tried to get one there last sunday but they didn't have running water
me: whoops
Sarah: Ozzys is kind of a shithole. Their coffee is awful these days, so it would be ironic if the chai is good...
me: ugh. well maybe that went downhill too. maybe gorilla coffee has chai!
Sarah: Sigh...gentification and its discontents.
me: yes it is not good when you need someplace new to come in and gentrify the gentrification
"Independent suburban-dysfunction dramas"
I’m not sure anyone has ever summed up my taste in movies so succinctly. Way to go, Netflix!
