Election themed coffee sleeves at participating 7Eleven stores
Just like wearing white shoes after Labor Day and mixing plaid and
stripes are fashion no-no's, talking about politics and religion are often viewed as conversational faux pas.
However, at some of my favorite Lower Manhattan coffee spots, politics sparks
animated discussion and draws customers for many of the best baristas around
town. Inside many of these caffeine fueling stations, Bi-partisan choice is a
hot topic as time ticks towards Super Tuesday. Sensitivities aside, style also embodies
choice and, as the election approaches, I take to Soho and the L.E.S to seek out
“street style” behind the coffee counter.
