If you want to see a vision of what a cafe on Park Ave COULD be like, visit Farley’s on 65th. Their slogan is “community in a cup” and they really do a good job of capturing the community vibe. Great Coffee, an eclectic selection of magazines for sale, free Wifi, and some great bites. My wife had some of their home-made frittata and raved about it. As a dog owner, I’m always looking for a place that can accommodate my pooch while I sip coffee and thumb through the news. Farley’s has a great street Patio area with plans to expand it into the street via a parklet. In Addition, they plan on later hours and serving Beer & wine once they have resolved their zoning and liquor license hurdles. Check out Farley’s!
