I've only been to New York once...and my wife (she'd lived in NYC
before) took me to AltCoffee. I'm glad I got to experience it before
it vanished :(

tour of lower Manhattan coffee shops.

Thank you for posting this and also thank you for the interesting
replies. It gives me some insight into one of the differences between a
New Yorker and me who was born and raised in California. I don't
appreciate the grittiness aspect of any city and did not realize that
others value it and even seek it out.

"Grittiness" has always attracted creative and/or rebellious young
people. It's what made legends of Greenwich Village, Montmarte and
Soho. It's affordable and doesn't remind them of the suburbs in which
they grew up. When they begin to raise children and look at private
school tuition, most return to their dreaded suburban origins.

Or else they turn the place they are living into some kind of suburbia -
this is what is happening in Alphabet Town. Of course Greenwich Village and
Soho haven't been "affordable" for 30+ years and gritty types are getting
priced out of the Lower E. Side too.

That did sound sad. I've never been to the place, of course, but we
do share its name:). Also, I personally enjoyed "Normal Bob Smith" so
it ended, for me, with a chuckle.
aloha,
