Joe Coffee Company (Grand Central)
Click right to take a look around…
Between Track 105 and the elevators, it isn’t much more than a serving structure among the other Grand Central stalls. But, anything under the unshaded bulbs of the train station—affixed to the ceiling in the center of a spiky medallion or concave circles with toothed petals—is special. It’s the nature of being the subterranean of the grand, eternal constellation just a floor above. A few gold stanchions are set up for queuing, presumably for a rush at some other point in the day. At 13:10, it was fairly mum. It’s no exercise in extravagance, that’s for sure. However, the EQUALITY sticker—the lettering the many symbols of diversity coming together—on the La Marzocco Linea Classic is the gentle nudge of comfort in a place where the many in transit might for a moment worry whether this fast-paced world still recognizes them.

Drink: Cortado
Never seen a “Q” scribbled as indicating a cortado, but alright. No harm. It’s kind of sweet and has good character. There is a complaint: it is (or at least feels) way too small. When she handed it to me, I got sad for what was in the to-go cup. It does the job, but it doesn’t reach my coffee soul. A weird way to land, yet here we are.
