Love for the cup, even in Boston.... "We are not native New Yorkers. We are Bostonians. Where coffee comes in a white cup with the pink and orange logo of the ubiquitous Dunkin’ Donuts (now more famous for coffee than doughnuts). Period." "My husband has visited New York frequently throughout his life. On our first visit together (and my first in adulthood) several years ago, one of the first things he pointed out to me was the Anthora coffee cup—a very New York thing. When you see the cup, you know you're in New York. Anytime he sees one, he just brightens up. It’s just one of those things. " "I’ve come to have an appreciation for the Anthora cup. There’s just something about it. And you’re not walking around advertising for someone. You’re just drinking your cup o’ joe in your blue and white cup. When you see the cup, you can hear the sounds of the city, smell the smells (which could be good or bad, depending on where you are), feel the bigness that is New York. There’s just something about that cup." "So I’m going to surprise him with the paper cups. He’ll be able to enjoy his coffee in a cup that makes him happy (and I swear that the darned cup is sometimes more important to him than what’s in it). I can’t wait to see the look on his face. I suspect that there will be much rejoicing. . ." --Sharon K., Waltham, MA |

| Light & Sweet Thank you for keeping it real. Its funny that I stumble across this web site in search of that coffee cup for my own personal use only to find it on ceramic cups. When our daughter was born in 2003, we had the Anthora motif printed on a blue shirt with a white negative lettering and picture (very in line with the original cup - only one made), with the top ten ways how New Yorker's order coffee printed on the back. Our friends thought it was the cutest and coolest thing. We just liked it because we are an interacial couple and she is our little light and sweet child- or Moca as my wife states. My wife and I have relocated out of state for job opps. For the first few weeks I couldn't get used to the coffee or the way it was prepared or served. I was used to a small light and sweet with a plain donut served in the traditional Anthora motif cup. Since then I have stopped drinking coffee and gone to Green Tea. Yeah, it was that bad. I commend you and your efforts in keeping the standard alive. Good Luck From us Crazy Coffeenated (Definition: very stimulated ) Architects --Robert G., A former New Yorker |

| Bring NY Home “I gotta tell you, NYCup.com was actually a great
thing to get after that depressing Met loss last night. It reminds
me of home." --Dave S., A former New Yorker who currently resides in the South |

What is it about that cup.... "Since the order came with two mugs, I kept one for myself and gave the other one to my boss. He loved the cup and come to find out he was a native New Yorker and was very touched that I had found such an unique gift!" "I'm from the West Coast myself, but now find that I can't drink my morning coffee out of any other cup! There is just something about it, the slogan "We are happy to serve you" brightens my day." "After reading about the history, I now have my husband fully engaged in the game "I Spy the Cup" whenever we watch movies or TV shows that are filmed in New York. It's amazing how often we spot it, almost every episode of 'Law and Order' sports the cup." "Good luck with your business!" --Kim L., Los Angeles, CA |
