The Grey Dog’s Coffee has been open in its Carmine Street location since 1996, and has been a neighborhood favorite for years. David Ethan, who co-owns The Grey Dog with his brother, Peter Adrian, recently opened a second location on University Place. We caught up with David over a cup of coffee (naturally).
Have you had a favorite New York celebrity sighting?
We get a bunch of celebrities, but I think my favorite thing is when nobody pays attention to them. They feel like they have a moment to themselves.Â
Even if you’re not bothering them, is there someone you’ve seen that you’re secretly so excited you’ve gotten to see in person?
No, I’m still waiting for Willie Nelson to come through the doors, but he’s about the only person I’ll truly ever be excited to see. So if you have a way to get Willie in here, let me know.
I came across your website while reading Willie’s. Your doing a great job and I have you listed as one of my favorites !
Why, thank you kindly! That is so sweet of you. I’m glad you come by.
