Why New York City?
The Big Apple
The first native New Yorkers were the Lenape, an Algonquin people who hunted, fished and farmed in the area between the Delaware and Hudson rivers. Europeans began to explore the region at the beginning of the 16th century
Today, more than 8 million New Yorkers live in the five boroughs–more than one-third of whom were born outside the United States. Thanks to the city’s diversity and vibrant intellectual life, it remains the cultural capital of the United States.

My favorite cafés in New York City
Café Collins
Little Collins hits all the senses and makes people feel transported and completely at home, all at once. This is a place where the barista knows your name and remembers your favorite sandwich.

Every aspect of the café has been designed with the customer experience in mind. From the chic, industrial interior to the delicious, no-nonsense menu to the music that fills the space
Café Integral
With complete vertical integration, Café Integral is a coffee company with an approach that stems from the grower's perspective and ushers the coffee through from shurb husbandry to the perfect brew.

What I like about it
Café Integral was founded in 2012 and aims to bring exceptional Nicaraguan coffees to the forefront of American coffee culture whilst redefining the paradigms that will forge its future.
Bluestone Lane Manhattan West Café
The design and inspiration behind this cafe draws heavily from the surrounding neighborhood and stylish locals that live in and work around the Eugene building.

What I like about it
Shifting slightly from the traditional Bluestone Lane experience, this cafe has a more sophisticated, dark and moody atmosphere with brass tones, industrial elements, exposed concrete floors throughout.
