The Mudspot

Being unemployed is a great way to get to know all the different coffee shops in the city. I have mastered the sport/art of coffee hopping/caffeine sipping. I work at my best when I leave my apartment. Trust me between the fridge, the Apple TV and Antonio's (my roomate's adorable french bulldog) love for squeaky toys.. i get nothing done. Talk about ADD... so each morning I have been making it a point to go to different coffee shops in the city.

Today, I'm going to post about one of my all time favorite coffee shops in the city. I always end up going back to this spot (or should I say the Mudspot). The coffee shop I am talking about is Mudspot, located at 307 East 9th St and 2nd Ave. It is a charming, rustic looking coffee shop with an earthly East Village decor. Mudspot is a great place for quality coffee and a good meal (they also offer an interesting selection of local beers). The cafe caters to chatting mud mocha sippers, attentive laptop workers and food lovers alike. They always have house specials and their menu includes a variety of soups, salads and sandwiches. If you are there over the weekend, be sure and check out their brunch menu as well.

My Faves: Chai Latte $4.50 and the Guacamole $7.95 (not necessarily in that order or together)... but trust me. Yummmmmmm

Sidenote-  I never use my earphones here, music is great. la la la laaaa..

If you are in a hurry and need a quick pick-me-up, fear not! Just keep your eye out for the orange monsters (as New Yorkers call them); the large bright orange "mudtrucks" parked in the neighborhood... they offer I wide range of coffee and tea selection on the go.

PEACE OUT
