New York: Culture Espresso Bar and downtown

Last month, we visited Culture Espresso Bar at 72 W 38th St.  Their website doesn’t match up to the vibe inside – it’s a pretty classy place.

 

I got the usual shot of espresso.  I think they were pulling shots from an Intelligentsia Black Cat blend.

 

a macchiato to go along

 We walked downtown via the High Line:

and walked back uptown through the financial district.  This is the 1-million square foot Manhattan Municipal Building.  Built from 1909-1914.

new york: night shots and night cyclists

I walked around and took photos. (what else is new?)

love the soho billiards sign.

 

Aether put together a nice little popup store with a tent and an airstream trailer.  Nice looking gear.. a little pricey of course.  (I love the photos on their main website)

St. Patrick’s old cathedral is an impressive structure

Cafe Grumpy and Spot Dessert Bar

Food shots:

Espresso from Cafe Grumpy in Chelsea.  Mellow.

 

Dessert from the Spot Dessert Bar in the East Village.  This was the Yuzu Eskimo – Blackberries, raspberry foam, chocolate pearls, oreo soil and chocolate ganache.

It was a neat combination of flavors.  The most interesting was the Yuzu - a Japanese citrus fruit.  It had a very interesting tart herbal flavor.  The raspberry foam was very tart as well and predictably light.  The oreo “soil” was delicious as I love oreo cookies and the chocolate was yummy as well.

 

I can’t remember what my friend Diane got.  I think this was the White Miso Semifreddo with berries, olive oil, and raspberry sorbet with an almond tuile.
