Title: Starbucks 425 Madison Avenue New York NY 10017 (212) 644-9462 Summary:   Keywords:   Description: When I buy coffee by the pound at Starbucks I am usually offered a free cup of coffee. Sometimes the clerks do not make this offer, but apparently it's standard for Starbucks and other coffee places (like Stumptown) to throw in a free coffee with the purchase of a pound or more bag of coffee beans. I don't much like Starbucks coffee the way they brew it in the store, so I usually decline the free drink. Recently, though, I got into the habit of offering my freebie to the next person in line. Sometimes this leads to confusion and weirdness, but mostly there is appreciation. On this day at this Madison Avenue Starbucks I intended to do this again, to offer the free coffee to the next person behind me in line, but too bad for her, she was yabbing into her cell phone and I could not get her attention.

Owner: sorabji	Title: McAnns on 46th Street 3 West 46th Street New York NY 10036 (212) 730-5007 Summary:   Keywords:   Description: This begins my plan to try the cheeseburgers at every midtown pub I can find. This burger was excellent. Additional evidence of my visit to McAnn's is here Owner: sorabji	Title: Stumptown Coffee Roasters 18 West 29th Street New York NY 10001 (212) 679-2222 Summary:   Keywords:   Description: I was happy to find this place, but a little annoyed at having walked past it 3 times. It's hip and counter-something to not have a sign on your place of business these days, but after wasting 10 minutes walking around this block I found the place and thought "Just get a freakin' sign already." I guess a certain hipper-than-me segment of the population finds the speakeasy gimmick clever but to another segment of us stodgy types it makes Stumptown look like a shady fly-by-night operation.

Title: Tim Horton's 761 7th Avenue New York NY 10019 (212) 767-8347 Summary:   Keywords:   Description: To my Canadian friend the arrival of Tim Horton's was nothing less than a big deal. I finally tried their doughnuts and was uninspired. Not quite stale but far from fresh, I shall stick with Dunkin' Donuts as much as possible.

Owner: sorabji	Title: Jiffy Lube. 8303 North Dale Mabry Highway. Tampa, FL 33614 Summary:   Keywords:   Description: 2010.02.18 This appears to be a receipt for the oil change and fluids check I had done for the Lincoln Town Car before driving it from Florida to New York in 2005, about a month after my father died. I was followed and surveilled at various stages of that trip by police and highway patrol who seemed to find my Florida license plates of great interest. I always drive the speed limit, though, and am just a good driver all around, so they had nothing with which to zap me. About half way through the trip, in the town of Washington, North Carolina, I had to stop at a mechanic when the Town Car's engine light went on. I stopped at an AutoZone, and they recommended I go to a local mom & pop shop a couple of miles away. These folks clearly thought I had stolen the car, and it was only after I slowly wised up to their suspicions that I sneaked into the conversation the fact that this used to be my dad's car. I thought I saw the suspicion melt away but maybe they still talk about that encounter. Owner: sorabji
Title: A&A Coffee/Porto Rico Importing Company 107 Thompson Street New York NY 10012 (212) 966-5758 Summary:   Keywords:   Description: The tiny A&A Coffee Shop on Thompson Street has a rare WOrth Telephone Exchange Name on its outside sign, seeming to indicate that the place has been in business for a long time. Telephone Exchanges fell out of use in the 1960s but can still be seen throughout New York if you know what to look for.
