Brooklyn Borough President Launches #BLKCoffeeInBK Tour
Mr. Adams is a man of his word. On Tuesday, after we published the list of Black-Owned Coffee Shops in Brooklyn, our Borough President, Eric Adams announced he planned to not just tweet about it#BLKCoffeeinBK, but support these local businesses:
I’m inspired by @BKLYNER‘s story on our great #blackowned coffee shops in #Brooklyn. If we want these #smallbusinesses to thrive, we have to do more than post about them; we have to patronize them. I’m embarking on my own #BLKCoffeeInBK Tour; follow along! https://t.co/g53PgLWkl5

He plans to visit every single one of them over the next month or so. Today, he visited three:
After a chilly start to my morning in @FortGreenePark, I dropped by Bittersweet, a great #BLKCoffeeinBK shop on DeKalb Avenue, for a little warm-up. #FortGreene is great because of #smallbusinesses like these; go out and support them! pic.twitter.com/RL2aKl8pcU

Join me at @BushwickGrind at 1 PM to support a great neighborhood coffee shop, as my #BLKCoffeeinBK tour kicks into gear.

He also visited SolSips.
He only has 34 more to go, but we keep adding daily to the list so Mr Adams may develop quite the coffee habit 😉
If he keeps giving heads up, this is your chance neighbors – follow him on Twitter at @BPEricAdams and you get to meet him over a cup of coffee!
