“Please” To Open On 5th & 15th This Saturday


“Please-ing is now in season” reads the window of a new shop opening this weekend on the corner of 5th Avenue and 15th Street.


The shop — which teased with a sign that read “everyone deserves a happy ending” — has its awning up and a note in the window that says the business, named Please, will open this Saturday, March 7 at 557 5th Avenue.

Please will take the place of 15 St Cafe, which opened in March of 2014 and closed in October, and Kawaha Cafe, which had been there, on and off, before closing in November of 2013.


A peek inside reveals shelves with a lot of bottles and, mostly, books — including a few books about bodies and sex targeted toward kids, like Changing Bodies, Changing Lives and It’s NOT the Stork.


They don’t appear to have a website, and we haven’t managed to pass by while anyone has been inside, so that’s all we’ve got to go on just yet. If you stop by this weekend, let us know what you think of the new business!
