Please have a peek at my profile for a bit of background info on my espresso history/interests/skills.

I am entrepreneurial and enjoy new business ventures. I would love to open an espresso bar in NYC (perhaps midtown, which is pretty much a wasteland in terms of quality espresso) but would consider any part of NYC really. I've operated other businesses successfully, but never one in the food space. So the ideal partner for me would be someone who has real coffee business experience.

Happy to hear the expert advice, opinions, and musings of the experienced and wise folks who congregate here!
