For the past couple of months, there’s been a new coffee and newspaper store operating at 2321 Avenue X. It’s an interesting little community store with an even more interesting owner. Without even knowing me or that I was there spying out his merchandise for my research, he treated me as if I was a gift sent from the heavens.

He opened this little shop to fill the spot of a community budget store like the ones from his native land. So happy to bring the concept of the *dukan* to Sheepshead Bay is he, that he displays a framed sign with the word written in other languages. He explained that this particular word is unique, because it is the [same in so many languages](http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/Konkani+%2528Transliterated%2529/dukan?ref=bklyner.com).

If you’re in the area, you might like to stop by and welcome him to our community. I can imagine he gets a little lonely on Avenue X — it being somewhat of a stepbrother to Avenues [Y](/blog1.php/EmergencySituations/another-serious-car-accident-on-ave-y-aa) and [Z](/blog1.php/restaurants/coming-soon-cappuccino-on-avenue-z). While you’re there you can buy a soda or whatever else in his ‘inventory’ catches your fancy.
