September 02, 2024

Good morning, caffeine crusaders. This is NYC Bites, the only newsletter that can justify that fourth cup of coffee.

Today, we’re taking you on a coffee crawl that’ll have you jittering from Manhattan to Brooklyn faster than a New Yorker spotting an open subway seat.

In today’s brew-fueled edition:

The best spots for sipping your way through the city ☕️
Two newly opened restaurants that’ll make your next cheat day worth it 🍔
A happy hour deal that’s worth raising a glass—or six 🥂

Let’s get buzzing.

Local Eats

Voyager Espresso - A Coffee Hideout Beneath FiDi

Address: 110 William St Lower Level, New York, NY 10038

Nestled in a futuristic corner of the subway (literally), Voyager Espresso feels like stumbling onto a hidden spaceship serving up espresso shots that could fuel a trip to Mars.

This sleek, sci-fi inspired café brings serious coffee cred with beans sourced from around the world and brewed to perfection. It’s an ideal stop if you need a quick, quality jolt before diving back into the financial district chaos.

La Cabra - The Danish Invasion of the West Village

Address: 284 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10012

La Cabra is where Nordic minimalism meets the West Village’s charm. Known for their light roasts and mind-blowing pastries (yes, you need to try the cardamom bun), this spot takes you on a flavorful journey straight from Copenhagen.

The vibe is calm, clean, and perfect for those who like their coffee served with a touch of Scandinavian precision and style.

Sey Coffee - Bushwick’s Botanical Brew House

Address: 18 Grattan St, Brooklyn, NY 11206

Stepping into Sey Coffee is like entering a living, breathing botanical garden with the aroma of freshly roasted beans in the air.

This Brooklyn gem is all about transparency and quality, serving single-origin coffees in a bright, plant-filled space that feels more like an urban oasis.

Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or just in it for the aesthetics, Sey’s got you covered.
