Situated just west from Marcus Garvey Park in midtown Harlem is the one of Harlem's hidden but renown marvel's, a hole-in-the-wall coffee joint that wouldn't elicit so much a pause from the average out-of-towner and yet it attracted distinguished visitors from all parts of the world..and some beyond, it was the kind of place you wouldn't know about of unless you were looking for it, aptly named after its owner, outside the building in classic paint lettering read "Luke's Coffee Joint". To describe the place, it was a modest but decently arranged joint. No bells, no whistles, mostly brick and some fine ebony wood, some decent indoor furniture, the booths were pub style, it being Harlem, it was also quite Harlem inspired, from pictures and artifacts of historic black figures to movie posters and the selection of music that played had a dated old-timey sort of feel. There was a platform in the back for open mic.
In the heart of the shoppe had been Power Man - Luke who'd been using the down time to wipe down his surroundings prior to opening hours , he may have been the owner but bartending was really his preference, as far as help, he prefered to keep a tight crew, on days like this, he'd handle most of the work himself or get one of the neighborhood youth to handle dish work or whatever else needed tended to. He considered himself a "hands-on" kind of boss, and he had reputation for being quite good at that. There were separate and distinct menu for those seeking unconventional service.
