Drinking in NY...
After spending a week in New York, I developed 3 favorite coffee stops. The NY coffee scene is growing so there's many more cafes worth checking out, but these 3 are amazing places, each in its own way: notably, Cafe Abraço (0:00) produces all of its own fresh food, which are undoubtedly the best baked goods in all of Manhattan, thanks to cook Elizabeth Quijada; Café Grumpy (1:22) features a knowledgeable and friendly team of baristas stocking an astounding selection of coffees; and Southside Coffee (2:34) pours by far my favorite macchiato - Intelligentsia Black Cat (thanks in particular to Ramin Narimani, one of their three baristas).
And "Jonah" by Wussy (whose album Left for Dead is the best music to drink coffee to) provides the soundtrack of my cafe daytripping - a Starbucksian move that I would have to apologize for if Thurston Moore hadn't starting selling his music there.
damn and i was upset that nobody ever mentions southside! I love that place!

Very, very well made. Very personal, and if music cannot be personal; then what is the point? Amazing song. Lisa was actually one of my first "myspace" friends, and we used to chat all the time before the rigors of the band got too much. Continue supporting real music, and avoid America's New Dark Age. Good job :)
