Heavenly coffee

Cup Of CoffeeThe Church of Heavenly Rest, located at 2 East 90th St. (Fifth Ave.) in Manhattan has something wonderful going on besides spiritual love. I walked by there and did a double take. They run a cafe out of the church! It is darling. Talk about setting a scene for some good idling and pensive thought. You can order a cup of coffee, smell church incense, feel the curvature of the gothic arches with your eyes- all while contemplating the meaning of life and whether your cappuccino foam has taken the form of holy images. You might get distracted by the mansion next door, but that’s okay! Allow yourself to daydream…

    I’d love to join you some time! That looks like the best cappuccino I have ever seen.

    I might be me but I think I see virgin Mary in the cup. And, I am not going to even ask about the toast that’s served with this coffee http://www.blacktable.com/gillin041202.htm
