Despite the warnings from overly cautious friends not to go to Deep Ellum, I ventured out of our SMU brick bubble recently to check out Murray Street Coffee shop.
I felt like I had stepped into Capitol Hill in Seattle. Allow me to explain. Good quality espresso+funky staff+cool art+interesting architecture+different music=Seattle. Murray Street coffee shop is definitely all of that with a cool mix of people too. There were moms, and business men, artists, and hippie/hipsters, all in one place! Besides that the coffee was delicious, and they have lunch items, AND they serve booze. Sounds like a perfect place to post up for studying starting with coffee and capping off with a cold beer. It was a great find I will definitely be going back.
I am left with this thought, what is it about certain places that attract chains, and other thats attract independent restaurants? Dallas! Why is it that you feel that chains are a sign of success?? Bigger is not always better! Maybe I am a Seattle girl at heart, because when I start my restaurant there will be one and only one, and any improvements will be only to the original.
