Meet John Moore, NYC sales rep for Counter Culture Coffee. I met him this morning at a coffee tasting session organized by his company and hosted by Franny’s Restaurant, here in Brooklyn.

Franny’s will be hosting coffee tastings every Friday this month at 10am, so just show up and surrender yourself to an excellent education in the complex art of coffee cupping. Counter Culture uses your comments, in addition to the opinions of those attending simultaneous cuppings throughout the east coast, to complete the feedback loop with coffee growers in developing Africa and their roaster here in the U.S. It also doesn’t hurt to let Franny herself know exactly what you think about coffee she may very well purchase.

Actually, it was more like an afternoon. The museum houses a wonderful scale model of the entire city presented at the 1964 World’s Fair. After the fair, “The Panorama of the City of New York” was used by Robert Moses in his citywide planning efforts. You can see his housing projects colored orange throughout the model. I remember my grandfather taking me here thirty year’s ago. Wow.

Looks like Tribe Called Quest likes to get down every once in awhile in Queens and Brooklyn, too.

My apologies. I decided to go on a bit of a music video tear. I was afraid I was going to lose track of some entertaining videos I have encountered over the last few years. Perhaps, I should have just put them in one post, to be deleted when I regained my senses. I’ll have to figure out a way to separate them from more topical posts.

Anyway, The Dap Kings, the backup band on this album, are from Brooklyn.
