In last week’s YNN Report, I mentioned that the one-day Yen Press cafe had sold out almost immediately, eve with extended hours. Well, in response, Yen has extended the days for the cafe!
The Yen Press Yuri Cafe now will be open through February 13, 2026. Saturday, February 7 is sold out, and they still want you to register with them for upcoming slots.
This is patterned on Japanese pop culture themed cafes, so the basic premise is that when you buy an item, you get a themed coaster. It’s pretty straightforward. There don’t seem to be multiple designs per purchase. Of course we plan on getting one of each. ^_^
Once again, for folks who are in the city tomorrow, we’ll be heading over to Kinokuniya at Bryant Park afterwards, just to hang and have a place to meet. They have a cafe too, and tons of Yuri merch and books. I have a Kinokuniya membership card, so let me know if you’re buying something you can borrow it for a discount. ^_^ I’ll be there roughly from 1:30-4.
Let’s all bundle up for a cold day in New York and warm ourselves with some friends and Yuri. Drop by the Okazu Discord and share your pictures!
