From time to time, I have complained that Midtown lacks any good coffee, apart from the bitter, over-roasted offerings of the many Starbucks outlets. That’s not quite fair.
There is one exception that stands out in this wasteland: Empire Coffee & Tea, on Ninth Avenue, about a block north of the Port Authority.
I wandered over there on my lunch break not too long ago, had a latte and picked up some beans for home and the office.
