It is quite difficult to get a nice cup of coffee in New York. You have to go to the right places. If you go to Starbucks you get some brown liquid, but I would not call it coffee. You have to be especialle careful if you order an iced mocha. First of all they put to little espresso in it (even if you order a double). They also put far to many ice cubes in the cup, instead of shaking it with ice cubes and then removing them. The worst part is that you have to be very careful so that they don't put whipped cream on top. And even without wipped cream a large cup of mocha is 400 calories. A meal in itself.
There are exceptions, of course. For instance the coffee bar at Macys ("the worlds largest store") makes nice coffee.
