Drift Vol 10: Manhattan

Travel | Culture | Politics

Manhattan, an international capital of culture and finance, runs on coffee. As a pandemic sweeps the globe, we survey this incredibly diverse metropolis and hear from voices and neighbourhoods that have both withstood as well as adapted to the times.

Drift, Manhattan includes:

• The role of women in the history of coffee in Manhattan.
• The rise and fall of the Anthora (“Greek”) cup, and a recent revival.
• The changing face of Harlem, and how coffee shops reflect the neighbourhood’s uniquely Black heritage.
• Coffee shops in the age of a pandemic.
