Jasper,

I believe the cap was either 6 or 8 ounces. The cup does look pretty big, but I promise it was only and inch and a half high, if that.

As for the other two, these were the exact same things Erin and I thought. We noticed the texture was way off (the bubbles did make me cringe a bit), and when we spooned back the foam it was definitely a latte. Though, I think latte art is very possible in a cappuccino from milk that looks like a big pitcher of marshmallow fluff—and seen it poured beautifully. (White outs are more common, though, if you've got some über foamy milk.)

Wow, a gluten-intolerant vegan... I hope she has a private chef AND a nutritionist. That sounds like torture.

as a frequent attender of NYC cooking classes (hey--I do the listings here, right?) I can say it can be unbearably hard to meet an eligible bachelor at a class. in most I've been to, there are couples, other women (young and old), but doesn't seem to be the single man on his own. if you're looking for a food buddy, by all means there are plenty. and adorable older women who love to make conversation.

maybe you should try a class that might draw more men.... butchering, beer, knife skills, maybe? who knows. yes it's playing into gender roles but I'm convincing myself it's a good idea.

I think the term "small batch" is pretty relative in this case, granted I'm not sure how small the "small batches" really are, but they are in limited qualities in contrast to the large amounts of the regular packaged coffees they sell.

Additionally—I suggested cuppings as a way for people in the coffee industry to take Starbucks a bit more seriously. so many of us disregard Starbucks as a viable coffee option, but the fact is, a lot of the process of selecting coffee for the stores is such an intense process made by some really knowledgeable people. I haven't seen any cuppings in the NYC area but I'd love to start seeing them around. NYC stores are usually so crowded it's hard for me to imagine how a cupping would actually work. I'm into the more proactive approach so I'd love to start seeing some of these popping up around the city to get more minds wrapped around how coffee cuppings are just like wine tastings.. and they can be just as popular if approached in an accessible way.

I used to work here. :)

white chocolate macadamia is my absolute favorite! great spot, and super easy to get to from nyc.

I am craving this so unbelievably bad. Ever since Adam posted about it on AG.... sighhh.... can someone teleport me to Union Square?

Yes. I have. A few times. On occasion I might not have realized at the time I wasn't into the person, but I've definitely gone on dates for the food (and good wine).

oh wow, Gramercy Tavern just continues to beckon me.

I know you specifically mentioned these are serious sandwiches in real restaurants, but I am forever in love with Alidoro's sandwiches (because I expect to take half of it home—at one of these places I'd feel weird about packing up half my meal).

Thank you thank you!!!!

@Sweet Freak: PMS vegan treats are not sugar free. I work at Joe and we sell them... definitely all made with sugar :)

My food snobbery came to a point this Thanksgiving when we had dinner with my aunt's inlaws, and I literally saw them cook everything either from a frozen bag, a box, or a can. I wanted to puke because my dad spent hours and hours slaving over homemade stuffing, meatballs, and desserts. So maybe this is less food snobbery, more realizing that most people simply don't care about where their food comes from, as long as they're gorging themselves.
