Coffee?

It’s always welcoming. And very welcome. It is, as you might have surmised, a good cup of coffee.

The where in this case? Turns out to be a small quirky shop on Lexington. Not just quirky but with a quirky name.

Peaky Barista turns out to be a 3 location family-owned mini-chain about town.

The name apparently connects to the caps on display (and for sale). I always associated them with cab drivers back in the day.

Maybe I will wear one from my own collection of peaked caps on a future visit.

Triggered, but in a good way

“Celia Cruz to appear on the quarter” is an announcement that can trigger many reactions. Depending of course on your relationship to the singer and her legacy.

For me, the smile it brought was remembering the off-Broadway show [slash] concert Burt and I saw at New World Stages. We were so enamored of the music and the story that we went back to see it again. It played in alternating English and Spanish versions. We loved them both.
