Less than 20 Places Out of 118,000 Know How to Make Java y¢~ By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Last night at supper our waitress said, “It will cost you an extra dime if you have a second cup of coffee. The order came through this afternoon.” This, I think, was a mistake. Coffee is such an intangible part of good fellowship that it should be held apart from the ordinary, ra- ther matter-of-fact details of a rou- tine meal. It is, in essence, some- thing deep and satisfying, like a handclasp between friends, and should never be swallowed like but- termilk, or a common champagne cocktail. Not good coffee. The drinking of it calls for a certain, and very definite reverence. It should amount almost to a ritual. Unhappily, the restaurants and cafes in New York don't seem to realize this important verity. The coffee here is generally vile and most of the cafe owners labor un- der the belief that to make good coffee all one has to do is pour hot water through the grounds. P If I were commissioner of res- taurants in New York I would insist on every restaurant owner estab- lishing his right to the trade. he made bad coffee I would most certainly deny him a permit. For of all beverages and this includes| tea, chocolate, goat's milk, and wines nothing can be so thorougly exhil- jarating. And by the same token, so thoroughly disappointing. Not long ago, on a private quest for the “one perfect coffee spot” in New York, we visited some 40 or 50 places. In only one was the coffee really good. Three taverns offered coffee that was drinkable. The others were so impossible that we listed them quickly in our pri- vate graveyard of places to be avoided.
