Good New York Coffees

Below are the best cups of coffee that I have found in New York City.

If you have had a great cup somewhere and think it should be known please let me know!

• The Plaza Hotel - They have an unbelievable cup of coffee. Of course it better be at $8.00 (Yes that is not a typo it is $8.00 a cup...$25.00 for a pot brought to your room!) It is totally worth it to go and get it at least once. I have been there once on an off night but I have only been disappointed once.

• The Grey Dog's Coffee - What a cute little place. They had good music pumping, a nice atmosphere to hang out in, and such a nice bathroom. My only complaint was that my coffee wasn't very hot. The general vibe I got from the place was that it isn't normally like that and maybe I got the bottom of the barrel. This quaint little place is located at 33 Carmine Street in the Village. They are very reasonable, also. We had 2 coffees and a double espresso and the bill was $4.50 (ish).

• Starbucks - Just for convenience alone I have to give it up to Starbucks. You are always guaranteed a nice hot tasty cup of Joe and with the Starbucks card (that we keep filled at all times) it is great when you want a pre-paid meal! One complaint I have with them is that the bathrooms are usually so disgusting that I would rather sit there in absolute pain than pull a hover craft in there! They really need to work on that. If you are going to serve items that naturally make you have to go to the bathroom then you better clean it regularly!

• Cart at 16th & 5th - I have not yet personally tried this guys coffee but I have had a good handful of people tell me that this guy serves up a good cup of coffee. I will soon try it out, but I must say that as a whole, cart items are usually pretty damn good and very reasonable! A small cup is usually 50 cents and a large is usually a dollar. You can't beat that! They also have really good bran muffins (the cart at 53rd & 5th is at the top of my list...Those guys RULED!!!).
