I'm all for supporting the local coffee shop, but some of them just can't make a cup as good as Starbucks. So how many more days are you in New York? Is your trip coming to a close? Great observations on the subway and elevator. Don't you just want to smack some of those people? Mmmmm, Starbucks.

I think that the New York tourist board should be paying you big bucks as you’ve certainly made me want to go to New York now and I’m sure that I am not the only person you’ve elicited this response from!

What is it now, $7.50 a pack or something? I'm not a smoker, so I wouldn't know. ::smiles::<br /><br />And no matter how nice you want to be in the subway, there is definitely one person who never lets you win. But during rush hour, you're all on your own. It's annoying half the time, but pleasant when somebody goes and gives up a seat for a kid, an old lady, or a stressed-out mother.<br /><br />Oh yeah. And Starbucks is definitely everywhere in Manhattan, can't deny that. Well, smoking is expensive here in NYC, with the bans in place around restaurants and bars and everything.
