Is it terrible that I find myself tap- tap- tapping my foot, day dreaming about the days to come in the big bad city? I may have just had too much coffee today…
On that note, everyone should be aware that the price of Starbucks coffee in New York City is quite inflated. As unfathomable as it may seem, I believe I might be trading in my beloved espresso machine for the can of Folger’s Instant. Too far?

Your entry makes me think of Italy and how they wonderfully DO NOT except corporate coffee in their country.When you move to the city be sure to check out this little jewel: Local “Organic Fair Trade & Shade Grown Coffee”. 144 Sullivan St, NYC.It is my cousin’s coffee shop, they are fabulous people and would love to know that you are my close friend. Maybe you could get coffee with my sister there sometime!
