Blackbook interviews Confederacy co-owner Ilaria Urbinati, who reminds us of this excellent piece of news: "We are going to be opening a café very soon! It’ll be amazing, with coffee from Brooklyn’s Gimme! Coffee and locally homemade pastries. Our outdoor courtyard will be for tables. It will be heaven. It looks like a shrunken version of the wedding scene in The Godfather out there—or at least I like to pretend it does." Having experienced Gimme! Coffee, we are very excited about this development.
