Places I Like NYC
O Cafe - Brazilian Coffee
I love this cafe on 12th St and 6th Ave. Beautifully designed interior from reclaimed materials. Delicious goodies, teas, and coffees. A nice place to sit and do work/read. I also find the people who work there to be nice.
From the horse’s mouth, or rather, the coffee bean maker’s mouth:
” O CAFÉ is the first coffee bar in New York to serve coffee brewed from the highest quality hand-selected Brazilian beans.
Brazil’s extensive geography and diverse climate offers extraordinary potential for the production of rare coffee beans, yet to be discovered by the mainstream coffee market.
Our main store is located at 482 6th Ave, New York, NY.
O CAFE philosophy focuses on the production of high quality coffee accompanied by high quality service. Our values are rooted in ecologically responsible practices, supporting fair trade and sustainable agriculture. We recognize that our coffee is the result of both people and ecosystems and foster close relationships with our growers.
We will contribute to the preservation of the environment recycling and composting our waste.”

Family Owned Pharmacy: Suba Pharmacy
I heart Mr. Suba big time. He is kind and always greets me by name. He is quite competent and well-informed. The service here is so personalized and friendly, in a way that’s unheard of at chain pharmacies nowaday. If you live on the upper westside, I suggest you use Suba Pharmacy! I think they deliver as well?
Read this article in the NYTimes about a petition signed by thousands of UWS residents in 2004 to save Suba Pharmacy.
Read Suba’s review on Yelp.
And here’s the @nypost’s recent article on Mr. Suba!
