All this talk about coffee made me crave a good cup of cappuccino. After lunch yesterday, I took my cousin Christina to Cafe Brama Cafe Brama so I could satisfy my craving. They serve my favorite cappuccino with pride. I remember the first time I went to Cafe Brama. I was debating whether I wanted a cappuccino because I was frustrated after paying for a string of cappuccinos that I did not enjoy, just that week. When the owner (one of two brothers) came over to take our order, Lon told him I was picky. A smile came over his face and he asked me to try the cappuccino and if I didn't like it, he would not charge me. Well, obviously I loved it.
On this visit, my cousin Christina was interested in their Mikado Crepe. It's a crepe with vanilla ice cream and warm Belgian chocolate sauce. It's not like the crepes made on the streets of Paris, but it's still really good and I really don't know of any other good crepe places in NY (that are still open). As expected, they used good ingredients, very noticeable in the chocolate.
I'm glad to see that business has picked up since my first visit when they first opened. It was not a meal time. yet there was a scattering of people on their laptops (lots of Mac users here). In any case, please go have their cappuccino!

Drats, I can't be one of those people loitering with their macbooks anymore. Sob. But that looks like a fine cappuccino. |

For some reason while reading your blog, I started picturing us on our trip to celebrate the end of our 20s. I see us sitting along the Alfami Coast somewhere, sipping an unbelievable cup of cappuccino, chatting and laughing, and enjoying the beautiful view in front of us. Perhaps even a slice of homemade tiramisu is also in reach. I can't wait to start planning our trip. We're going to have such an awesome time. |

There's a great crepe place (if it's still open) way down at the end of St. Marks, between 1st and Ave A. Here's the menupages site for it. The crepes are very thin, and they do savoury as well as sweet. From what I remember, they definitely compare to the ones in Parisian street cafes. |
