The 14 Best Coffee Shops In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"As much as we love our single origin pour-overs, we miss when coffee shops were somewhere you went to see loveable weirdos sing “Smelly Cat.” Black Cat LES is one place keeping ’90s-style coffee shop culture alive, in a subterranean space that feels like the common room of a dorm with leather couches, board games, and a piano. On any given night, there’s an open mic, comedy show, or reading, and if you’re a performer, you’ll get a receptive audience. You can order basic coffee drinks, organic teas, and mason jars of wine." - neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
