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
