A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

HALF-CAF GRANDE LATTE WITH EXTRA SHOT OF SYRUP: Come fall, Manhattanites will have 6 fewer Starbucks from which to satisfy their coffee jones. Somewhat surprisingly immune? Astor Place, where there are two Starbucks almost directly across the street from one another, and where a Barnes & Noble cafe operated until last December, serving Starbucks coffee and overlooking the two other Starbucks (Starbuckses? Starbucki?). For those concerned if they will have to find alternative caffeine fixes in other markets, the complete list of Starbucks closings is available. (Even with 13 stores closing in Vegas, and an additional 3 in North Las Vegas, I don't think it's going to become difficult to find them there.)
