All Good Things...on Franklin Street

I work in Tribeca, so normally when I walk the streets, it's usually on a mission to quickly grab lunch and head back to work asap. On a day when I had more time, I decided to walk off the beaten path, and came across an inviting storefront with the prettiest display of flowers. I popped my head inside, and found a curious artisanal farmers market inside. Flowers, fresh bread, coffee, ice cream, fresh meat stands in a serene greenmarket haven. 

When I first stumbled upon this store, the signage wasn't available yet, but a few weeks later I walked by again and saw "All Good Things" hanging above the entrance.

Today I tried the coffee at Blue Bottle--I'm not that adventurous of a coffee drinker, I go for regular black drip coffee, nothing fancy. Coffee here is $2.90 a cup, almost a dollar above. my reservation price of $2 a cup, so I wouldn't make a trip to All Good Things a daily habit, but the coffee is certainly richer and deeper in taste without being bitter like Starbucks' original blend.

I like walking through here. It's a nice respite from all the hustle and flow outside. I'll have to try the baked goods and ice cream next time, the displays are always so tempting!
