Gigi's Bay Street Cafe is now even more convenient for Midtown Direct commuters. They've set up a cart right inside the Bay Street train station, so you can pick up your morning joe, banana bread, newspapers, or juice right before hopping on the train. Or even pick up a pre-packed sandwich for later. When he's not acting as a fast-order barista, Joe Truchan hops from his post to help befuddled computers commuters with the daily parking machines, and will yell to the conductors to hold the train.
"That's our goal," says owner Gigi DiGennaro. "To make sure nobody misses the train."
Station hours, which just started this week, are 6 to 10:30 am. The deli around the corner on Glenridge Ave. remains open for more leisurely dining.
All those "befuddled computers" need help. What about the Commuters?
