Empire 22 Broadway,
An independent internet café run by a very affable fellow who goes by the name of CJ. CJ welcomes you and offers you a sample of the latest drink he is trying out on his customers. The day we were there it was a frozen butterscotch latte, quite good. They offer many coffee, teas and sodas. Bubble tea is one of their specialties. It is flavored ice tea with chewy tapioca bubbles on the bottom.
The seating area is comfortable with huge overstuffed couches, tables plus work areas for those so inclined. The art work on the wall changes every month allowing artist to display their wares.
Since its opening almost three years ago Empire serves as an informal community center for Broadway. It plays host to a book club, ladies who knit, open mike night, a writers group, a place for new mothers meet and talk and a café for teenagers to gather and hook up to the wireless internet.
