I'm sure Amazon is trembling.

What I like to do with this place (besides eat delicious food and wine) is to do my book-finding wherever, on line even, and then ask these guys to order it. They can get anything for you, and I mean ANYTHING. And presto, you're supporting the bookstore part of the scene.

It has been over 6 hours and nobody is screaming/joking about tapas places causing ruinous gentrification in JP????? People must actually be working.....or just plain sick of the whole WF affair.

But in any case, the tapas bar/bookstore replaced a bookstore, so not exactly mega-gentrification with that.

it's the same folks who owned it before, when it was just a bookstore. I think they're trying to find a way to keep it a viable business. They closed for a while, renovated and recently re-opened with the new business model.

Merlin,

Sorry, I was working :).

Surely the addition of a Tapas bar/bookstore will lead to higher housing costs and drive out people who only want to buy books.

I think that it's vitally important that Tapas bars should work with the community to identify the true Tapas needs of the community.

In any event, I wish the owner good luck in his new venture.

I think this calls for some kind of affirmative tapas action, or tapas control, in order to promote the diversity of tapas consumers.

How come American food is big plates, and Spanish food is small plates, huh? Is it because they think Spanish people are all broke?

Apparently to please the local latino community, they will be offering tacos.

Wait, isn't Tapas Spanish? Wait, there's a difference between Spanish and Hispanic people right, some are poor? Can I get a ruling on this from one of you bleeding heart liberals that think Puerto Rico is a state?

Thanks honey!

Hispanic = Puerto Rican.

Everything else is stuff white people like, because Mexican food doesn't exist outside of Texas you know.
