I was first through the door yesterday - and told Dino, "you smell really good! Is it something 'Italian' "?
Fortunately, he laughed.
I tell you - that first pour of his morning was some of the strongest coffee ever!
The UnderDog, which opens 15 mins later just down the street - has several pots for self-serving. "House Blend choice today" - and something labeled "Midnight" and others.
I was feeling my beans one morning, years ago, and filled my cup from the Midnight pot. 1/2 hr later I was feeling slightly 'drugged'!
A few yrs ago I was standing in line to pay for my coffee in the UnderDog when I realized I was standing in line behind my wife's boss..*
I said, "good morning Nancy". She turned and peered up at me, finally recognized me - because it was very cold out and I
always keep my helmet on when I go into Y.S's shops.
She scowled and said, "Tom, what are you supposed to be?"
I smiled and said, "this morning - an astronaut!"
The UnderDog is an old-style coffee shop.

* This lady, my wife's former boss at the courthouse - is the person somewhat responsible for my wife & I getting together (over 3 decades ago!)
My wife had been dating a number of 'suits', lawyers and state congressmen & such - who turned out to be losers.
Her boss, exasperated, said to her, "why don't you approach that new crew leader in the work-fare dept. I've heard good things about him over the past year - for instance he is single-parenting 3 young children."
With three children to take care of - no way was I looking to date! This cute young blonde had other ideas. (she also fibbed to me on her age!)
