CONNECTICUT MUFFIN

"Made with fresh ground Yale undergrads"

the one near where i work tends to put sugar in the coffee even if ask for it black, or explicitly without sugar. they seem to be on autopilot a lot. THAT SAID, i am a fan of their muffins on days when I want a sweet in the morning. The double chocolate one is extreme. I like the Blueberry Burst or whatever it's called.

connecticut muffin is maybe the least appealing two word construction in the english language and i hate it

have you seen the one down the block yet? it's hilarious

STAY AWAY FROM ME-HEE

CONNECTICUT MUFFIN
LET JHOSHEA BE-A-HEE

lol blueberry burst

great name

do they have shirts?

someone told me it was opening across the street from me in the old 7 corners hardware and i got all mad - luckily, bunk info - it opened two blocks away and then surmounter went there and then he started a thread and then i started complaining on it

i loved that hardware store

no but seriously, i wanna take my laptop there and write. i know puke

omg they were such grumps tho (the hardware people)

Hey! I used to live right by there - it was awesome and I miss it a lot. I'm jealous. Fucking Boston.

haha i used to live in boston now i live here

u hav the steak bomb tho

i know, but grumpy kind of in that small town in new hampshire way. maybe i was just romanticizing...

enbb, you did?? you're in boston now?

true re steak bomb tho fat lot of good that does me personally.

Surmounter - I lived on Broome st for almost three years when I was in college and loved it. Took sketchy Chinatown bus to NY couple weekends ago and had a walk around. I miss NY! I've been in Boston for a while now! Where did you think I was?

If there's a CT Muffin actually in CT, it's news to me (in CT).

i believe its a brooklyn based chain

motherfuckers

the real question though is are muffins in CT supposed to be like extra special?

enbb, you know, i'm not sure where i thought you were... i guess boston makes enough sense =P

aspirational marketing gaaaah whoever the fuck aspires to ct

the real question though is are muffins in CT supposed to be like extra special?

@ Dunkin Donuts, maybe?

one opened close to me sometime last year. it's ok.

I hate DD baked goods. It all leaves a weird film in my mouth. Bah.

this is some bullshit -- I'm starting up HOBOKEN CALZONE in protest

i find the sign really funny, in that like green script they do

im glad someone can laugh ab this

i'm curious about their brunch special

PUT SOME NUTMEG UP IN THIS BITCH

(and insurance)

haha brunch special?? i'm intrigued

the fulton lafayette intersection is a magnet for all stupid generic shit in ft greene - ct muffin, smoke house, fucking shitbag mulaines, 69 burger, la bagal delight etc etc gah gah gah

http://connecticutmuffin.com L O L

I thought this was going to be a thread about Surmounter's new bf.

69 burger was manna from heaven when i was fending off the worst hangover of my life last week but i wouldn't eat there all the time or anything

eh the food is ok - their steez is lame and way behind the burger zeitgeist tho

OMG P U K E

that logo/font is hideous yeah

NM what I said ealier about living near there - I lived by one of the other ones. I didn't realize was a chain but google tells me there are lots of them in NY now. That logo is annoying, yes.

HAHAHAHAHA the logo.

ok i'm sorry BUT: Mullane's is AWESOME, as is La Bagel, and the fucking Smoke JOint. you need to try their fries.

(and it's 67 burger guyz, come on)

my only association with connecticut muffin is that there was some brutal shooting at the soho one a bunch of years ago...i don't think i've ever had one of their muffins

honestly i don't know what's funnier, the font or the muffin. the muffin might take it

wow that's a bad association...

ha i realized that could be read the wrong way, i was not associated with the shooting, it's just the thing i think of when i hear "connecticut muffin"

duuuuude none of those places are awesome - they all have mediocre food at best and completely inane styles

omg im goona go have some "brooklyn wings" at the smoke joint or maybe ill head over to mulaines so i can feel like im in cleavland then tomorrow for breakfast ill get some bagels severed up by paroled sex offender druggy weirdos

omg someone level that intersection asap

1999! that makes me feel old

my only association with connecticut muffin is that i brutally killed a guy at the soho one a bunch of years ago...i don't think i've ever had one of their muffins

whoa tmi!

In Connecticut, do they still call it Connecticut Muffin, or is just Muffin?

when does Willoughby's come to NY?

none of these bullshits were there when i moved here it was just cambodian cuisine i am complaining now the neighborhood has changed so much wha wha wha

in 1999, the CM in brooklyn heights was a big old yuppie eyesore - not a beacon in a changing neighborhood.

(I thought this thread was going to be about picking up Yale/UConn women at first.)

Connecticut State Unis are the place to go for that.

omg im goona go have some "brooklyn wings" at the smoke joint or maybe ill head over to mulaines so i can feel like im in cleavland then tomorrow for breakfast ill get some bagels severed up by paroled sex offender druggy weirdos

OMG

i used to get harrassed at that bagel place, by this CREEP guy who would like touch me inappropriately and talk really inappropriately. very strange. they let him go.

one time i was paying for my bagel, he took my hand in his palm and said, "you know what it means when someone holds your hand like that? it means they wanna fuck you."

i really couldn't believe it. there were like strollers and cops around.

i think you misinterpreted

weird, all these ilxors live near me.
i like the smoke joint but god i hate la bagel delight. terrible. i dont underatnd how people can run a crappy bagel store in ny and not feel guilty about it. i wouldn't be able to sleep if i ran that place.
haven't tried mullanes cause it looks sucky, wanted to firebomb ct muffin but whatever.

haha yes that guy eeewwww hed be all can i interest you in a slice of grandmas succulent moist carrot caaaake - drooling eyes all bugged out

i saw that dude in a anarchist/feminist/etc bookstore once o_O

little pig has great food

i do not think lil pig is so great - but everyone else is pretty into it

ct muffin reminded me when one of these opened near my parents:
http://www.downtownwhiteplains.com/sites/dtwp/photos%5C24_1.jpg
i was like finally a taste of that famous atlanta bread without going there. wtf.

connecticut muffin logo looks like it could be the header on a community baking-interest newsletter published in MS Word

yah fucking check out the place that did it wtf http://www.eisenman.com/corp_id/first_manhattan.html

LOL at All Business Furniture!

yes thats the one i was loling at too!

the saugus sausage: specialty meat shop, male strip club, or mobster nickname?

That 1999 shooting was at the one I lived near like a month after I moved out! I don't remember that place at all though. Huh.

BLUM printing just gets it RONG

you'd think an alleged graphic 'design' firm would know about CMYK

http://www.eisenman.com/images/portfolio/corp_id/doughnuttery.gif

where to they wiff on cmyk elmo?

the letters in the BLUM printing logo are red, yellow, blue, and black -- maybe the choice was intentional but it just seems like bad branding to me

also, i declare doughnuttery to be my favorite word of the day

i hardly ever stopped into the brooklyn heights CM when i lived there; i remember having a good ginger cookie there once.

doughnuttery.info

how much for doughnuttery.cx?

damn christmas islands dont come cheap

"Connecticut Muffin" should be the name of a new genre of porn

i wonder if i should try their bagels ...

wonder if i should try throwing a brick through their window ...

so based on what i know of the location you guys are talking about CT Muffin aims at clientele from out of town who go to soho to shop at daffy's & armani exchange y/n?

the location weve been mostly talking abt is in brooklyn

:( too long out of town

EA - I was confused too and thought it was the one you're thinking of, I think.

yah we were talking abt the soho location too tho - their clientele is prob abt the same as any off brand starbucks bullshit

I went to Smoke Joint once, I was hungry so it seemed mostly okay but their mac'n'cheese is stupid and not special at all.

stupid and not special at all should be their slogan. stupid refers to their style and not special at all is what the food is.

there's at least two in brooklyn, dunno about manhattan

dude they're barbecued meats are great, as are their fries, and their smoky greens. and not that his means anything but their hot dog was named best dog in the city by some stupid magazine.

also Mullane's burgers are great, and mullane's is a really convenient place to go and just chat. and LIL PIG SANDWICHES ARE OFF THE HOOK.

i'm sorry my typing is so horrendous :(

(i'm slightly hungover)

I had the Black Angus hot dog or whatever but really IT'S A HOT DOG. I do not require it to be anything special beyond not-made-of-cow-lips, and I like dogs best with sharp cheddar melted on top which they do not do. So...eh.

i agree, i had it, and it was fine

surmounter do you find yrself waxing poetic abt pretty much every meal ever y/n (be honest)

hehe no i don't but i think i am a positivist, whatever that means. i've been finding myself VERY positive about new music lately. i don't know.

what i wanna know is why ppl hate that La Bagel place (besides the sexual harrassment) -- their bagels are so good!

lololol

RONG!

you don't think i know a good bagel, do you? i still think not ray's is the best pizza i've ever had.

Whoah

i know, bold

haha i think weve had that conversation

we have, i am just reinstating

Reinstating what, exactly?

that my fav. pizza in the neighborhood is Not Ray's... very yum. where do you live Laurel?

(prolly asked you before)

I used to live in Crown Heights/Prospect Heights, now S Wburg with the Juice.

Dude, you might want to look up the difference between "reinstating" and "restating".

Dude, you might want to acquaint yourself with Surmonster's posting steez and stand clear.

I am acquainted! I'm just trying to be helpful.

i just looked up steez

reinstate was wrong.

honestly these ppl put some kind of crack cocaine in the iced chai latte. i mean it's like, with a regular coffee u can kind of put the coffee down, let it sit for a minute. even with an iced coffee. but with an ICED CHAI LATTE, u cannot stop sipping the coffee. u are constantly sipping it until u feel like when it ends u are going to have a panic attack and shut down forever. only then u don't.

CONNECTICUT MUFFIN

like, what IS chai?

CONNECTICUT MUFFIN
STAY AWAY FROM ME-HEE

I'm not alone!

hate ct muffin.

yo somebody go interrogate these bitches and git me a damn muffin recipe! then post it to the muffin thread
PLEASE

connecticut muffin is my drag name

stuffin' getbent's muffin

(i frequent this place more than i care to admit)

it's RIGHT THERE and sometimes i am LAZY and i can't help it :/

I don't need the calories, quit muffins awhile ago. I have a fat-free Fig Newman with my cereal.

it's so weird to me that there's a whole ilx thread about connecticut muffin. it seems like such a non-thing.

isn't that why we love ramzi?

I have never heard of Connecticut Muffin

i only really ever get the banana/chocolate chip muffin

xp if there weren't one literally two blocks away from my apt it would never even occur to me to go there

i should start a thread about kelly's coffee & fudge (on the first level of every mall ever).

so something weird happened to our connecticut muffin

it became like the best place in the neighborhood for ... SOUP

it should be called "soup house" bc people flock there for the soups. there is this one soup "chicken tomato orzo" that literally gets sold out and ppl like call and email in about it.

amazing thread

i srsly go into this place like every day now. i feel a little bad about academy restaurant tho cuz i used to go there daily for soup. OH WELL i'll spread the love.

uhh they changed soup vendors

I always thought it was weird to have a place in New York City called "Connecticut Muffin," as though New York City suffered from a dearth of muffins, whereas Connecticut is a place associated with them. Seems a little like having a Delaware Bagel Shop or a Maryland Pizzeria

i have not thought about this place since i left brooklyn

the williamsburg location was the first one I ever saw iirc, but there was also the ones in BK Heights and Ft Greene. I didn't think much of the coffee.

It stuck out more to me in Williamsburg because I remember it being there before Williamsburg was 100% bougie-fied. At least I think so -- maybe my memory is off.

yeah no i think you're right.

their espresso is fine, and they take CC no minimum

I mostly think of this place as a public restroom
