Business picked up a little at Williamsburg's first Starbucks, but the place is still being met by a whole mix of emotions (and tweets). The neighborhood has been going through an identity crisis for a while now, and the announcement of a J. Crew coming to the burg isn't helping. Bedford + Bowery asked locals what they really think about the coffee giant moving in. A 12-year-old 'Burg lifer has the secret menu on her phone, while another local says: "I was about to spit on it—quote me!" [B+B]
