After we opened Pencil Factory Bar in Greenpoint and around the time we were opening the Coffee House, we were approached by a Northern Irish gentleman who wanted us to duplicate the Pencil Factory in the neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens. He made us an offer we couldn't refuse and eventually opened L.I.C. Bar. We have since sold our interests in the place, but we had a great two year run in which we learned a fair amount about the bar business and partnerships.
