Very friendly barista makes the best latte in the city. When it rains, I just make myself show up at his little cafe sitting on little bench outside.

The first time I stopped at Abraco they were re-doing the floor and my coffee was offered to me free of charge as I stood in the doorway. I went back when the work was finished and got chatting to Jamie, the energetic owner. I asked him if "abraco" means "hug" in Portuguese but he quickly corrected me: "Embrace." Jamie likes to spin vinyl samba records as he makes your espresso, and told me Caetano Veloso has an apartment in the neighborhood. Soon after we actually ran into each other at the Brazilian's concert near Times Square. Abraco sells Sanbitter in little bottles, but alas no Campari Soda - for that you need a liquor licence. Did I mention the coffee is among the best in town?
