Love is blind – and I do love NYC, so maybe I don’t know (but maybe I do) – but even if I did, my response is the same as a famous local coffee guru ….”I don’t kiss and tell”….

Fantastic post. The elegant combination of words and pictures took me to NY without ever leaving the comfort of my chair. However, I remain concerned with the glowing commentary on the coffee you tasted there. Knowing that you have a blind affection for the city, I’m worried that “everything” tastes better in NY to a guy like you. Even the coffee in those quintessentially NY blue cups with the Greek motif might merit critical acclaim.
So how good was it really? A gibraltar in NY is better than, equal too, or less than a gibraltar at say… Crema?
I mean when it comes to coffee we’re still the sharp end of the spear out here on the West Coast right? Right?!?!
