Sidewalk Signs of NYC
#11 - Mimi's Frozen Yogurt in Soho (Lafayette and Spring)
Stopped by Mimi’s in Soho and tried their froyo. It's light, airy, and somehow still creamy. Original tart, mango, chocolate… all unreal. Jamie’s already planning our next visit.
#10 - Blue Dove Coffee at Union Square, New York
I met Amadeo, the founder of Blue Dove Coffee, who starts his days at 2:30 AM to prep his coffee cart for Union Square's rush, putting in 10+ hour shifts—more intense than his military days. After trying his perfectly balanced, chocolatey espresso, I can confidently say it's one of the best shots I've had in the city!
#9 - Rhythm Zero at Bandit Running - New York City
Rhythm Zero in Greenpoint, started by Serbian couple Ivana and Alex, blends art and coffee with style, evident from their see-through acrylic sidewalk sign. The shop’s thoughtfully curated interior, featuring an oil painting and a Persian decorative rug, creates a unique and peaceful atmosphere perfect for a Saturday coffee date.
