Big Tip: Where to find the freshest coffee in New York City

I sit down with Eater to give them a list of my favorite spots in New York for a freshly roasted cup.

“I’m still learning now and there’s still things about coffee that keep me excited.” Vonie is always happy to share her knowledge, especially in the midst of Pumpkin Spice Latte season. “I want to be like, ‘Hey, here’s where you can get coffee that actually tastes good and doesn’t just taste like orange sugar,’” she says. Here are her recommendations for where to get a super-fresh cup of coffee in NYC.

I talk with David at Chowhound: CBS about why I love Cold Brew so much.

“Taste is still overwhelmingly tied to smell though, and the human body can smell more ways than one. In cold brew, we use cold or room temperature water to brew with, so those acids don’t decay, and those aromatics don’t evaporate. However, when we drink the cold brew, those oils hit you while in your mouth. This is called ‘retronasal olfaction’, which refers to the flavor of cold brew being created from molecules in the coffee, being pushed up into our nasal passages while drinking."
