PrintPeter Meehan's Top 5 Serious Espresso Joints
I don't even like espresso 
(in fact, I don't drink hot coffee of any kind.), but reading Peter Meehan's terrific story in the Times a few weeks ago made me think I should start downing double espressos at every opportunity. Meehan reported that a few New York-based baristas are markedly improving the New York coffeescape:
Ninth Street Espresso: 700 E. 9th Street (Avenue C), 212-358-9225
Gimme Coffee!: 495 Lorimer St. (at Powers), Williamsburg, 718-388-7771
Cafe Grumpy: 193 Meserole Ave. (at Diamond), Greenpoint, Brooklyn, 718-349-7623
Oslo Coffee Company: 133-B Roebling St. (N. Fourth), and 328 Bedford Ave. (S. Third St.), 718-782-0332
It's not surprising that all the serious espresso joints are in hipster havens. Read the whole story

It's probably too late, but espresso afficionados may be surprised by the unusual presentation of "iced espresso" that you can get at the Buon Italia Cafe in Chelsea Market. They do it every summer, and it is a surprisingly tasty espresso shot (prepared hot as normal) poured into a cup made of ice. The result has an interesting taste and texture that I highly recommend to anyonee with a taste for coffee.
