CAFFE REGGIO 

GREENWICH VILLAGE NEW YORK
 
Copyright 2016 Daniel Zwicke
Gotta have my coffee at the Cafe. There is not much in life that pleases me more drinking a nice hot tasty Cup of Joe in the warm welcoming invirons of a nice cafe. And I don't mean Starbucks. Yes I can have my coffee at home each day, and save quite a lot of money. Yes i could have it at home and instead of spending about $1,600 a year or $16,000 every 10 Years on the stuff, I'd just spend about $120 a year or $1200 in ten instead of that 16 Grand. Yes I could put a whopping $15,000 in my pockets every ten years or so if I wasn't so extravagant in my daily coffee habit, but it juts wouldn't be the same, I wouldn't be in a cafe which I love so dearly. I'd be at home alone with my coffee and no one else around. I'd have my coffee but I wouldn't have people nor the surroundings of a nice cafe like one of my favorites of all, the former Caffe Dante in New York's Greenwich Village where I had my coffee ( Cappuccino, Espresso, Caffe Latte) nearly everyday for 30 years.
You see it's not just about the coffee but about being around other people and the community and conviviality of this thing called the cafe, a place to gather and be among like-minded people, those who life the cafe life. I could just go there and burry myself in a book, do some writing, or converse with a friend, the waitress, or someone new who I just met, "you see I'm at a cafe," and this is what you do, you read, you write, sip your coffee, you relax, that's the essence of any good cafe, and I've been to many. I've been to Caffe Florian in Venice, Duex Maggot and Flore along with many more in Paris, to Greco in Rome, Gambrinus in Napoli, Biela in Buenas Aires, du Monde in New Orleans, Caravelle in Macau, and many more.

FAUNO BAR

PIAZZA del TASSO

SORRENTO


Bar Fauno iw without question one of the World's Great Cafes (Caffe). It is without question Ground Zero, the # 1 undisputed most popular spot in all of Sorrento, which is a town filled with travels from around the world, who make Sorrento their home, base for exploring; Capri, Pompeii, and the Amlfi Coast of Italy.

You haven't been to Sorrento if you haven't gone to Bar Fauno. On a recent trip my cousin Tony and I had brekfast every day at Bar Fauno, and we might be found there at the end of the evening for a nightcap before retiring for the evening, as well as having a couple Apertivo's during our stay.
You can get whatever you want at Bar Fauno, including; simply and Espresso or Cappuccino, a snack such as a Panino (Sandwich), Pizza, Gelato, or a whole complete meal. If you are staying at a hotel nearby, you're sure to go to Bar Fauno a number of times during your stay. I highly recommend this, one of the World's Great Cafes."
