Coffee, nah! Make that Latte

The cookies (with Claudio’s signature penguin) are a great addition to a latte-break at Tozzo.

Your tastebuds may not be as forgetful as mine.

Shame on them for dismissing the most memorable latte ever.

Latte or cappuccino is often the question, but I enjoy one or ‘tother wherever I find myself.

Gotta be sure to find myself at Tozzo more regularly.

That’s one epic coffee drink!

Neighborly sights

Cherokee Place and the Pavillion abut John Jay Park. The river ripples by us, seen over the FDR traffic. End of the summer season is here so this was the last sighting of the orange umbrellas at poolside.

Picture this

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Only if you’re following me here… and here…. and there.

MTC used to perform at this venue. For someone living only a few blocks away, the UES theater was a special treat.
What a great New York story this corner could tell!
Construction is a huge part of all stories in NYC. This site didn’t leave room for a pedestrian walkway. Tsk tsk.

Peace and latte

There’s a bakery, Patisserie Vanessa, where there is no music piping in. What I first noticed was how quiet the girls behind the counter are. It’s refreshing.

You might call this little cafe the inverse Starbucks. Whisper-quiet patrons spread out at their little workstations.

It’s like Starbucks-meets-librarie.

My coffee trail review gives Vanessa’s 5-stars for the cappuccino I enjoyed and another 5 for the lush latte that followed.
