Starbucks also introduced Americans to the modern coffeehouse.
Give me Reienzi's in NYC any time.(Is it still there?)
I was there the year bob dylan played electric at Newport,
that dates me I know.
Now THAT was a coffee house.
Great music, chess, stimulating conversation,stay as long as you like, great deserts, and none of this overroasted burnt bean gunk from starbucks.

Starbucks coffee sucks to me. Every time I taste it, it seems to have a burnt undertaste; very disappointing.
Was really brought into coffee in the Navy; the shack had a 60-cup perker that was always going. We added a little salt to the grounds before brewing, and made it strong. The grounds came in 20 pound steel cans, and was mostly from Maxwell. Used to hang at Marie Callenders restaraunts in SanD and Long Beach; great bottomless cup coffee, and the best deep-dish strawberry pie.

Give me Reienzi's in NYC any time.(Is it still there?) Nope. I'm 27, have spent most of my life in and around New York and can't remeber that place, although Cafe Borgia and Le Figaro are still there by Bleeker and MacDougal. The Cafe Wha is still there as well.
