in case you don't read the times every day

here's a link to a really solid piece in today's new york times about the burgeoning specialty scene in new york city. [registration required, but you can try to get around that here.] the story links to a short video clip you really must see that has some great shots of espresso being pulled and some good latte art being done on a synesso and a la marzocco

(btw, i rarely read the times anymore now that i don't live within easy driving distance of new york city. i mean, in case you were wondering...)
