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.

We walked downtown via the High Line:
A couple sitting at 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.

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)

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.
