Best new coffeehouse
Irving Farm Coffee Company
Other nominees: Espresso 77, Frank White, Roasting Plant
The beans are roasted upstate, but there’s a downtown vibe at this slim West Village coffee bar. A spin-off of 71 Irving Place, the Farm has drawn a pack of loyalists to challenge the Starbucks hegemony. Espresso—dutifully short, wonderfully dark—is the poison of choice for workforce warriors frequenting the Seventh Avenue shop; more leisurely joe pros opt for a steamy cappuccino topped with a dense thicket of foam. Globe lamps illuminate a sweets-stocked case, and the lively staff percolates at first mention of a double shot.

Apparently the readers of this magazine have no BBQ experience whatsoever if they think hill country is the best! I know there is a shortage of good BBQ in NYC, but even Dallas BBQ is better than this overpriced garbage chain! Daisy Mae's, RUB, hell, the mcRib is better than hill country! If you like paying 10 bucks for a mexican coke that tastes like every other coke in the world, and carrying a bunch of subpar smoked meats all over a buffet restaurant then by all means, enjoy!
