04.29.10 (posted 05.01.10) - my favorite cup of joe is from a greek diner in my neighborhood. it beats starbucks or any of those overpriced coffee houses any day. probably the most iconic symbol of ny coffee is the greek coffee cup designed by leslie buck. long before dunkin donuts and starbucks coffee was on every corner in the city, many new yorkers got their cup of joe from the local greek diner. leslie buck created the cup as a nod to these owners. sadly, he passed away this week.
i love his design so much that i bought ceramic versions of it from the moma store. i bought a cup of coffee to go this morning. can you tell which one is in the disposable cup versus the ceramic one?
