Gourmet coffee spots are all the rage in NYC now. Say sayonara to Starbucks and hello to your new neighborhood joint. I have heard a lot about the tiny Abraco in the East Village, and stopped by on Saturday afternoon. I ordered an iced coffee as well as an olive cookie. The iced coffee was refreshing and superb, and the olive cookie was mind-blowing! East Villagers are lucky to have this tiny coffee spot in their neighborhood. I think the place is so cool and great though, that no matter where in NYC you are, it is definitely worth the trek!
