the Starbucks on N. 7th / Bedford got its liquor license, now serving beer, wine and "small plates"

The Starbucks on N. 7th & Bedford, which is the second Williamsburg branch of the coffee mega chain, is the latest to offer the “Starbucks Evenings” menu that features wine, beer and “small plates” like Truffle Mac & Cheese, and Spinach Artichoke Dip with Pita Chips. You may remember the community board was against Starbucks’ liquor license application but the SLA granted it nonetheless. The only other Starbucks in NYC to offer alcohol is the one in Macy’s. Makes sense for the once bohemian neighborhood that will soon have an Apple Store, a Whole Foods and a Ralph Lauren boutique with in a couple blocks of the L stop. Plus they need to make up for the lack of CD sales. You can watch a USA Today video filmed at the Bedford location below…
