It was a deceiving day in New York. Well, after a few winters here, deceiving is not quite the word, as I am now accustomed to it. It looked gorgeous outside. Blue skies and barely a cloud to be seen. But whoooo was it cold. Some of our prettiest days are in the winter, particularly February. But that usually means the coldest as well. And a biting cold when there is no cloud cover for protection.

Thankfully Mud in the East Village is there for some respite.

Mud is incredibly cozy, with its earth tones, the café seems designed for cold nasty days. And as warm as the décor is, the service and resulting atmosphere are even warmer.

The espresso, or ‘mud’, was good. Served in a rustic glass tumbler complimenting the ambience while my son and I listened to the light rock of the café and entertained (bothered? hopefully not) the polite table next to us.

They also have a full blown menu, so for food or café and a neighborhood-y feel, Mud is worth a visit when down in the EV.
