See what to eat this week.

As Spring sets in I will set my sight on SoHo for weekend walks and window shopping. One of my favorite places to go is the coffee bar at Alessi, New York. The Italian designer and maker of metal household objects - all super cool and sleek and modern, and also super expensive - smartly paired with Joe the Art of Coffee when they opened their flagship store’s designer doors on Greene Street.

Two of my favorite things: coffee and art.

Joe to go, but fit to be served on a silver platter.

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

Pull up a seat and stay a while.

MOMA-worthy displays (literally).

Beautiful things I can’t afford

but am tempted to buy anyway.

Like the cutest kitty bowls I’ve ever seen.

And another pretty cup of joe (can you identify the type of leaf the barista made this time?)

To sum it all up, the experience really is what they say it is:

Joe the Art of Coffee @ Alessi Store, New York
130 Greene Street
212.941.7370

EAT THIS: your heart out, Starbucks
