Cafes and coffeehouses have a colorful history in this country; in the thirties, a "cafe society" brought a touch of glamour to the grim depression years; in the fifties, it was the beatnik coffeehouses, where patrons drank espresso and listened to grungy poets recite their work.
Now it's the nineties and coffeehouses are back better than ever before. This delightful guidebook profiles 100 great cafes from 40 major cities. A scattering of fascinating factoids, quotes, and speciality recipes makes Coffee Crazy fun to read as well as useful.

Story You see, Lainie, this is all we need - a couple of smokes, a cup of coffee and a little bit of conversation. You and me and five bucks." -- Ethan Hawke to Winona Ryder, Reality Bites "Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love." --Turkish proverb "The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Over the Teacups "Look here, Steward, if this is coffee, I want tea; but if this is tea, then I wish for coffee." --The English magazine, Punch, 1902 |
