The hot chocolate came in a blue and white paper cup with a Greek urn on the side and a rectangular pattern across the rim. In a white square on the front of the cup it said “We Are Happy To Serve You.”
I drank the hot chocolate during the rest of the 12 minute walk.
Those mornings came rushing back to me when I got an early birthday present.
The Sweetheart Cup Company released a ceramic version of the classic NY coffee cup. The cup thousands of us expats grew up drinking from is now available online.
It’s the same size and shape. The ceramic “seem” is right where the paper one was 20 years ago. Holding the cup feels right. Feeling it in my hand takes me right back to all those blustery mornings when I was getting ready to change the world.

Waaaah! I want to go back to New York! Happy belated birthday. I was so wrapped up in my own birthday I guess I forgot about yours! And what's this craziness? Girls can go to Molloy??
You mention anything in NY, Lisa wants to go back.
That cup just reminds me of the old guys in the local donut store in Rockaway. It kinda gives me the creeps. And why is it greek?
and the problem with that is...?
