The Greek-style coffee cup is quintessential New York, but with fewer Greek coffee shops and more only coffee shops around, they are not as common as they once were.* This 75-cent specimen came from the Luncheonette, which I wrote about late January, next to the Smith and 9th Street subway station. Though on the small side, the coffee was pretty good. I’d go back again.
* MOMA sells a ceramic version of this cup. A nice, environmentally correct souvenir, it will bring much pleasure.
