Midtown Lunch

If you work near the Fulton St. Transit Center construction area, you probably know it’s a nightmare trying to walk around with streets torn up and sidewalks narrowed, but on John St. there are also a bunch of other building projects going on. Unsurprisingly, it’s affecting businesses in the area, including the old-timer Roxy Coffee Shop on the block of John btw. Broadway & Nassau. It’s been there since 1944, was renovated a couple of years ago, and sits next to one of my favorite sources of pizza in the area, It’s A Pizza which I’m guessing has also lost business. As noted in the forums, a neighborhood resident talked to the owner of Roxy’s about how the construction was affecting business, and what he found out wasn’t good.
