Oren's Coffee - Grand Central Terminal

If you pass through Grand Central at any caffeinate-appropriate time, make a stop at Oren's. In the wee hours, 6am to 9am, the groove is so solid in there you CANNOT leave without a smile on your face. Fishbone, Al Green, the Police, Stevie Wonder, Beastie Boys. Fucking fat mix every morning. Weekend staff - grungey indie crackers for the most part, with music to match - are a lazy, sullen, and arrogant group - but the coffee and muffins are second to none regardless of who's pouring. Little pricks.
