This Year's Theme Is...A Search for the Best Coffee in New York City

 
 
I'm happy to be joining the A to Z Blogging Challenge for 2016. This year has a new (to me) innovation, the theme reveal. When I last participated in 2014 I remember saving revealing the actual theme until the end of the challenge, but instead of a big reveal, in blogs all around the world, today,  bloggers are revealing their themes.
 
I didn't participate last year because I was in Japan, but I'm home for all of April and happy to be part of this challenge. The goal is to blog every week day in alphabetical order, from A to Z. My last theme was New York City food and I had a lot of fun with it. But I didn't think of anything for this year until last week. I was walking with my friend Nancy and we passed one of the thousands of places serving coffee in New York. She commented that a mutual friend thinks that Coffee Shop A serves the best coffee in New York. I was intrigued by the idea and my challenge was born. I am in search of the best coffee in New York City.  
 
 
This will be by no means a scientific search. I will stop by a few favorites -- perhaps a return to Café Lalo for this beauty -- as well as try a number of new places. I may write about areas of the city, stores, restaurants and coffee serving locations. Friends in New York are happily invited on my coffee expeditions, and I'm eager for any and all recommendations. All opinions are mine and all are subjective. There will be no thermometers to measure temperature of the coffee or any other scientific criteria, just an enjoyment of the coffee.  I can't think of a better way to spend the spring days of April.
 
As ever, thanks for visiting and let's have another cup of coffee!

An interesting endeavour to be sure.

How much fun! Afraid that here on the farm the only coffee choice comes from my own pot. I'll enjoy your watching your coffee quest.

I can only imagine you have a wealth of places to sip coffee at there. The one pictured looks scrumptious. I've wondered how they get the pattern on the top. Hope you have a good cup of coffee this morning ! I'm enjoying mine.

Now that sounds like a TON of fun. I will join you . . . but from afar as you take us on your A to J journey. And doesn't April seem like a wonderful time to get out for coffee? Best wishes.

That sounds like a great challenge! Somedays I love coffee and others it is tea. I am catching another cold with this 60/30/70/20 degree weather we have had! A person can not stay healthy! I am getting ready to brew a cup of Mint Lemon Verbana tea with honey and a slice of lemon. Oh what fun you will have Carol! xo Anne

Buttercup, I have always said..I may not know the best cup...but oh boy, I sure can tell a bad cup. The best coffee I have ever had was on a cruise ship and at the dinner theater in Indianapolis. I never order coffee anywhere I eat...yuck, you have to eat to not taste the coffee. LOL. I used to drive 30 miles for coffee beans to grind..that wonderful shop went out of business..now, I mix many brands to try to get the flavor I truly love. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

Okay, I'm just hooked! I adore Buttercupland! What a great, fun theme! What a chore, though, having to sample all of that wonderful coffee, poor dear. ;)
