Ninth Street Espresso

"9th Street is another spot for coffee snobs. The brown stuff here is reliably good, and its semi-hidden location in the bottom of the Lombardy Hotel is a nice little place to camp for a minute with a macchiato. They don’t take cards, however, so if your boss sends you on a coffee run, get cash from them first (because you’re in Midtown to get paid)." - bryan kim
