Independent press Thayer is opening a bookshop and café this fall at 99 Ave B in New York City, in Manhattan's East Village, selling books, coffee, pastries, toasts, beer & wine. The press publishes a biennial magazine of short fiction, poetry and photography; its debut novel is forthcoming.
EV Grieve recently featured an early peek at Thayer Coffee HQ, noting that founder Matt Lally, an East Village resident, "plans to have a soft opening early [this] month. The two-level space will feature coffee drinks by Irving Farm New York and pastries by Balthazar. There will be grab-n-go soft drinks too. Beer and wine will be available in the evening. Thayer will host various literary events and offer a curated selection of books and magazines for sale. There will be tables and chairs for drinks and books."
