Caffe Reggio

in the United States to serve Cappuccino”

I found out online that there is a cafe in Greenwich Village that has been there since 1927. Domenico Parisi brought the cappuccino to America and they still have the espresso machine, from 1902, at the cafe today (not in use of course, but still pretty cool). The cappuccino wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but good enough and the lunch sandwich that I ordered was great. This is a small place with tables very close to each other, but still a cozy feel to it and it really does feel old with all the art work in the room. I tried to picture how it was to sit at this cafe and sip a cappuccino back in the old days. 

A coffee lover like me loves to visit places like this. New York is relatively a new city but there is plenty of interesting history and a lot is kept. New York City is definitely one of the coolest cities to discover.

Jag hittade online att det finns ett cafe i Greenwich Village som har funnits dar sedan 1927. Domenico Parisi presenterade cappuccino for Amerika och de har fortfarande espresso maskinen, fran 1902, kvar pa cafet idag (inte i bruk saklart, men anda ratt coolt). Cappuccinon var inte den basta jag smakat, men tillrakligt god och lunchmackan som jag bestallde var god. Det har ar ett litet stalle med bord ratt nara varandra, men anda ratt mysig kansla och det kanns verkligen gammalt med all konst i rummet. Jag forsokte forestalla mig hur det var att sitta dar pa detta cafe och smutta pa en cappuccino pa den gamla tiden.

En kaffealskare som jag alskar att besoka stallen som detta. New York ar relativt en ny stad men det finns en hel del intressant historia och mycket ar bevarat. New York City ar definitivt en av de coolaste staderna att upptacka.

It was snowing nonstop all day yesterday. We had basketball tickets but the game was cancelled and they banned the traffic in the city and closed bridges from 2:30 pm. We stayed at home all day and watched families play in the snow outside our window. When we where outside, Thor tried to run around but it was hard since he kept disappearing in the snow. But the storm wasn’t that bad actually. The news made it sound a lot worse than it is. They write that it is 63 cm snow in Central Park. No idea if that’s true, but down here in Battery Park it’s not that much.
Today has been sunny with blue sky and not very cold, which of course means slushy streets. It’s very nice to walk outside on days like this though because it’s very quiet and I have awesome rain boots. Not much people and no cars. I’m tired of the snow already though, I want it to be gone by tomorrow. Big wish, hahah. 

Det snoade nonstop igar. Vi hade basketball biljetter men matchen blev installd och de forbjod trafik i city och stangde av broar fran 14:30. Vi stannade inomhus hela dagen och sag pa nar familjer lekte i snon utanfor fonstret. Nar vi var ute forsokte Thor springa runt men det var svart eftersom han forsvann i snon. Men stormen var faktiskt inte sa hemsk. Nyheterna far det att lata varre an vad det ar. De skriver att det ar 63 cm i sno i Central Park. Ingen aning om det stammer, men har nere i Battery Park ar det inte sa mycket. 
Idag har det varit soligt med bla himmel och inte sa kallt, vilket da saklart betyder slaskiga gator. Det ar valdigt trevligt att ga ut pa dagar som nu dock, for det ar valdigt tyst och jag har awesome regnstovlar. Inte sa mycket folk och inga bilar. Jag ar trott pa snon redan dock, jag vill att det ska vara borta imorgon. Stor onskan, hahah.

Right before Christmas, I finally got to see The Bulls play at United Center in Chicago. What a difference to go see them at home. The entertainment in between was far more interesting than at any basketball game I’ve ever been to in New York. Sure, Bulls kinda sucked and they ended up loosing to the Nets, but still, everything else was very amusing. I had such a great time and our seats were awesome. The stadium was full and everybody seem to have fun. When we go to a Knicks game in NY, most of the people coming are tourists that has no clue of what they are actually watching, they just want to see basketball and The Knicks on their vacation in New York. So it was really cool to go to a game where people really wants to see their team play and have fun with other fans.

Hi! I have been sick for a few days. Boring. When I try to do stuff, the energy quickly runs out of me. New York is very cold these days and down here in Battery Park it’s very windy as always. Last weekend I barely had a jacket on and then it got cold again, and this weekend it’s supposed to be warmer again. So weird and no wonder we all get sick. But it is winter now after all, so we all just have to suck it up and hope we’ll be better soon.
I was looking through all my pictures from when I lived in Portugal. I don’t miss the student life there or the dance studios that got flooded every time it rained or the ballet teacher that screamed horrible words in Portuguese or that I had to miss lunch every day because I had no time to go there between classes, but I miss the friends I met there and how hard everybody was working in the studios and the 2€ 2 L beer that you were only allowed to drink outside on the street and of course I miss the wonderful weather. I don’t want to go back to that time, but I do want to go back there again. One day.

All of a sudden it’s freezing in New York. During the day it’s “ok” but in the mornings it is brutal. Yesterday morning we had -12°c!! So, of course I’m thinking back on our vacation to Grand Cayman. That was definitely the highlight of 2015. We had such an amazing time there. Good thing we have pictures and memories to take us back from time to time so that we can forget how cold it is outside here 🙂
