Coffee? Yes!

The Swiss are famous for their neutrality. I am not.

In truth, I notice a tendency to prefer the most recent cup I try. This is somehow akin to the «Ado Annie« principle. Akin, adjacent, similar but not the same.

I think I lost the thread there. I mentioned that the Swiss were neutral because my current favorite is the skim milk (to stay) cappucino at Zuri Cafe.

My friend J says “the barber” when I propose a meet ’cause that’s what was at this location.

The cappucino is superior, but the space is a little too little and cute.

Allow me to digress further and school you on why skim. For reasons, I can not explain with any science, skim milk foams more richly. End of lecture.

There are outside tables and an adjacent ice cream parlor that belongs to the same folks.

Coffee

My coffee hunt has pretty much ended with cups at home or a flatwhite at Starbucks. The latter is the one good cup they serve, and I love the app.

Passing a coffee bar cleverly tricked out as Ground Central well, who among us is strong enough to resist.

Yes. Definitely a robust and balanced cappucino at a price underlining its confidence. 8ozs at about 6 bucks makes this a 50 cent a sip drink.

As I continued on my way up 2nd Avenue, a second outpost of this coffee purveyor appeared just a few blocks north.

In fact, this was a day where duplicates just kept popping up along my route.

Odd but true.

There were restaurants with similar profiles; cleaners clumped on a single block; groups of youngsters similarly disregarding the rules of the road when passing oldsters.

A cortada [aka short] sampling from the Coffee Trail:

I’ve been missing the Coffee Trail…

The barista said it all: “welcome to the best coffee in New York.

It’s a big city and I love [almost] all her many coffees.

There’s lots on this subject in my other blog sites, too. These are just 3 earlier postings.
