👋 Megan here, suggesting you take your morning coffee with a healthy dose of extra-fresh bread.
Dig in:The Newstand, in the Jefferson Bank building on Broadway, is often bustling with remote workers and students enjoying a hefty sandwich alongside their cuppa joe.
While it's many things rolled into one — a coffee shop, a deli of sorts, a wine shop and even a vintage boutique — it's the perfectly executed back-to-basics here that stick out to me.
Plus, who doesn't love a journalism pun in a name? (Maybe just us? Okay.)
What to try: The cottage cheese and toast ($9) is simple yet hearty. When the bread is just-baked to the ideal consistency, all it needs is a bit of that cheese topped with olive oil and black pepper.
It wouldn't be complete without a drip coffee ($4) in a beautiful blue ceramic mug.
The bottom line: It's the small, everyday pleasures that start a good day off on the right foot.
