One of the best blocks in Uptown is finally getting some much-needed access to coffee. ManhattanJack, a new coffee/bakery/chocolate shop from a Culinary Institute of America grad/New Jersey native, Jack Petronella and his business parter Coleman Jernigan, will open mid-December between La Thai and Creole Creamery at 4930 Prytania, joining culinary heavyweights St. James, La Crepe Nanou, the Upperline, Kyoto and Elvis-dive The Kingpin.
