        <content>Greetings,
&#160;
Until now I've mainly been a lurker on this board, but this past weekend I tried a cafe that has not been mentioned here so far: Ten63 in Long Island City. We read about it in Time Out and decided to try it out on our way to MOMA over the weekend.
&#160;
The rundown: They have good espresso drinks. That means if you like brewed coffee, you'll be drinking cafe americana. As a brewed coffee fan I was a little disappointed in this, although the espresso was good, as were the lattes.
&#160;
They have decent scones, etc. Nothing earth-shattering, unless you consider the fact that this is Long Island City. Apparently the owner is connected to Relish (the Williamsburg diner). 
&#160;
We also tried baked eggs (good) and stuffed french toast (excellent, but the portion was way too small). 
&#160;
The decor is clean, loftlike, and airy, with some cool art hanging on the walls. Service was friendly enough. 
&#160;
Ten63 is on Jackson Avenue near the 7 and G trains. I don't get to LIC often but it seems like a great addition to that neighborhood. It's definitely worth checking out if you plan on being in the neighborhood.</content>

      <content>Ten63 really has nothing to do with food.  
 
It is a pretty cool place.  The coffee is ok (but not as good as the Brazil Coffee House around the corner.  It has a small selection of pastry that you have to actively look for.  They do not cook on premises, although they warm things up.  In short, this is not a Chowhound selection.</content>

      <content>Please lay off the editing, and show some graciousness to new posters.  You can say you hate the place, but I don't think it's your place to say it shouldn't even be mentioned here.  These people said they had some food (aka chow), and I for one appreciate a firsthand report on any place in my neighborhood.  The more opinions the better.   </content>

      <content>Ok, maybe I overreacted.  But I am still glad somebody posted their opinion of this place even if it's not an ethnic-food-cooked-by-grandma-under-fluorescent-lights joint.</content>
