I love tea. I can't think of anything better than a steaming hot cup of tea on a cold day. But I was raised on coffee. I didn't drink it (matter of fact I didn't have my first cup of coffee until I was in my 20's), but it sent me to school, kept a roof over my head, kept food in the house and clothes on my back.
So in the spirit of these beverages, this Friday's excellence idea is a combination of the two...
First, let me introduce you to bushbaby. Owned by my friend T (no pun intended), it's one of the sweetest little internet cafes in Bed Stuy. It was there long before many of the trendy little spots opened up in the neighborhood (and I suspect, it'll probably be there after as well). Bushbaby is a great place to go for a spot of tea or some coffee, or a plate of good food (Sunday brunch rocks!)...and if you remember, it was also the only place in the neighborhood that observed Earth Hour last year. I know, because it was where my friends and I gathered to celebrate. So if you're in the neighborhood (or know someone who lives close by) pop in for a cup of coffee or tea.
Second, I want to reintroduce my friend Paul Moses who has an EP on iTunes right now called Coffee & Tea. Some of you may have heard me rave about the EP when it first dropped last September, but I just rediscovered the songs on my iPod last night when I was trying to find some relaxing music for bed. Paul's voice is just as soothing as a cup of tea and I guarantee you it's worth the $4. My personal favorites are The Feel & Taking the Day Off. Get it.
Remember, this is the year of excellence...what are you doing to be excellent?
