It seems like each time I go to New York, some new trend has swept the city, and it's usually on its way down to DC. A few summers ago it was those Chinese slipper shoes. Last year it was scooped bagels -- thank goodness that never caught on. It seems kind of gross to me to have someone else digging through your bagel with their finger (they usually wear gloves, but still), and plus that doughy part is the tastiest.
So this morning I was intrigued when, right before I boarded my train at Penn Station, I ordered a latte, and the question wasn't just "what size," but "strong or mild?"
Has anyone ever been asked this before? Unlike the scooped trend, I love this one. I don't like strong coffee, but I love mild. So I specified, and it tasted great. Yay for crazy New York trends.

ooh...are you in town for the BlogHer conference? There's a NYC Blogger Meetup next week!
oh really? that sounds so fun! No, I was there for work!
I like mild coffee too. I doubt that will catch on here in Utah since we only have one Starbucks in my town because they don't drink HOT drinks here.
But your post brought back a beautiful memory for me. My only time in New York I had the best cup of coffee of my life at Grand Central Station! It was just coffee with milk. I didn't realize I ordered milk because I couldn't understand the man that I ordered from...I just said yes to what he asked me. It was fabulous.
I will remember it forever.....
That's so cool Connie! it's so amazing how some things in new york are just that good, especially where you'd least expect it.
I love the cupcake movement that originated in LA and NYC. : )
