Just about a month ago I fortuitously met Sufi, the owner of MyWayCup Coffee, on 23rd and Park. He and his partner Halo were perusing through Fishs Eddy, selecting vintage cups when the hand-painted Alice in Wonderland sign caught Sufi's eye. He asked how much it was but was promptly informed by a sales associate that "it's not for sale." In attempts to keep this customer happy, when I returned from lunch I was summoned over and introduced to Sufi & Halo as "the girl who painted the sign." Within moments they were describing their cafe to me and the creative visions they had for the bare walls.
After a few late nights and numerous cups of cappuccino, the cafe is now open but decidely incomplete. (There is talk of me coming back to paint a few more graphics) MyWayCup is a place that certainly brings a bit of charm to the otherwise commercial 23rd street and the coffee is so good that it's actually worth going out of MyWay to get it.
Looks like a nice/fun/cozy/friendly place to go just by reading your post. Did you go there last Sunday with your mom and Rae?
ReplyDeleteYes! It was the perfect place to rest our feet and escape from the rain. Next time you come into the city we'll go again. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we got to see it in person! It looks great. :)

ReplyDeleteI needed a place to get out of the rain and work for an hour before my next meeting (and did not want to go to a Starbucks). I thought it was so cute and had no idea you were the reason behind that. Love it. You are so talented!
