Now that’s an espresso!

After yesterday’s espresso identity crisis – am I an espresso? Cappuccino? Americano? Water with some coffee dropped in? – my son and I took no risks.

We decided to visit Ninth Street Espresso’s Chelsea location.

At first I thought I had the address wrong, as there was no café on either side of the street.

Then we discovered the Chelsea Market and there it was, Ninth Street Espresso with an open space bar in the middle of the covered market.

Genius location for them. No chairs, just the espresso bar. And a buzz of people around, passing amongst the market. It put a smile on both of our faces.

Their original location served up a great espresso, but for whatever reason, today’s was even better.

Address

Ninth Street Espresso – 75 9th Avenue, New York between 15th and 16th Streets in the Chelsea Market. ACEL Trains at 8th Ave/14th Street.
