【紐約・飲】The Chipped Cup:有後花園和Tiffany藍的咖啡店





在西哈林區住了五年半,一直在等待一家讓我想久坐又空間舒適的咖啡店。左等右等,終於讓我盼到The Chipped Cup的到來 :D 在去年夏天 (2013)開張,在西148&149街之間Broadway上,入口隱身在lower level,若是沒有這塊牌子可能就會一直走過頭。雖然不是一般來紐約的遊客會拜訪的區域,不過如果你和我一樣是咖啡控,也想體驗一下紐約市中心高樓大廈之外的另一個面貌,我誠心推薦大家來坐坐。我個人非常喜歡他們的Latte還有Chai,以及現烤的可頌夾火腿和起士(大心)。光是Chai就有三種不同口味,有一般的,Dirty chai(大概就是chai味更重點),還有南瓜味的。不知道為什麼,他們的招牌設計很有仙履奇緣的風格,南瓜風味的chai也讓我不禁想到南瓜馬車(?)

I've been eagerly expecting a comfortable, spacious coffee shop I'd like to spend my time in since I moved to west harlem 5+ years ago. Then finally, The Chipped Cup came along! The Chipped Cup opened on Broadway between w148&149 Street in the summer of 2012. The entrance is hidden in the lower level. If not for this sign, I might very well missed the stairs. West harlem is not a typical destination to visit for tourists coming to NYC, but if you enjoy coffee like I do and would like to see a different side of NYC, I sincerely recommend people to check out this spot. They have 3 different flavors of Chai Latte, including regular chai, dirty chai, and pumpkin! Their logo design always makes me think of Cinderella. I guess pumpkin chai also reminds me of pumpkin cart? :P

【紐約・飲】[kahve] Hell's Kitchen的風格小咖啡店


第一次走進[kahve]是因為在轉角的鳥人Totto拉麵排隊等了很久,在店門口巧遇許久未見也在等著吃Totto的友人,並在他們的建議之下到轉彎處的咖啡店先坐坐,所以決定轉移陣地取暖先。

一開始還找不到,但看到門口的第一個想法是「唔~還蠻可愛的嘛 ..」

kahve是土耳其文「咖啡」的意思,除了一般的咖啡,拿鐵等等,店裡也有土耳其咖啡。因為通常這種有「特殊風情」的咖啡都要到專門料理餐廳才會有,在好奇心驅使之下,同行的好友就點了。

【紐約・飲】東咖啡館。Ost Cafe

趁著休假有閒,在聯合廣場 (Union Square)附近辦完事後,便用手機Yelp找到了這家咖啡店。

Ost,在德文是「東」的意思,而Ost Cafe也坐落在紐約市區非常東邊的Avenue A上。店內的木頭色裝潢和擺設有歐洲的感覺,讓紐約的東村也吹進了一股維也納的風。

一進入店內映入眼簾的是兩人成行的顧客低聲談笑,也有獨坐看書和沈思的客人。店內播放的音樂音量恰到好處。大片的落地窗讓店裡灑進和諧的自然光。



【紐約・飲】心目中的第一:Oren's Roast



Oren's Daily Roast在紐約總共有九家分店,我自己最常去的是在NYU旁邊的超級小店面。因為就在校區內,所以門外經常大排長龍。我自己是每次只要在上課前還有五分鐘的時間,一定會去光顧,等待一杯好咖啡來提神醒腦。

Oren's Daily Roast has 9 branches in NYC. The super small chain next to NYU was the one I used to go to all the time. There was always a huge line because it was really close to school. I would definitely go get a cup of good coffee to wake myself up if I got 5 minutes before classes.
