Where is your favorite espresso in Manhattan?
I don't like Starbucks and the sandwich places. There are a lot of espresso machines around but the espresso isn't very good. Do you have a favorite place for a really good espresso? I don't care if the place looks nice or has food.

A friend took me to Via Quadronno on my last visit to New York and I fell in love!

I had two cappucinos, they were that divine. And I bought a panettone to take home (it was near Christmas time) that was very good.

So funny because I too was going to say Via Quadronno. It's ridiculously expensive but very good. I think there are probably as good or better options downtown. Abraco, Stumptown, Joe the Art of Coffee are places that get good reviews.

I have heard about Via Quadronno. I am going to be close to there on Sunday (at the Metropolitan Museum) so I will try it. I believe it is owned by the people who own Antica Bottega del Vino in NYC, which began in Verona, Italy.
I am going to be downtown on Saturday, so maybe I can try the other places. Thank you!
I hope I can also find someplace near Bryant Park. I tried Le Pain Quotidien, but it wasn't strong enough for me.

I tried via Quadronno this afternoon and while my espresso was good, my friend's double espresso was better! (Mine was a little "bruciato").
Maybe I can try Joe tomorrow in Grand Central Station.
