  A good place to start is Stumptown Coffee Roasters in the Ace Hotel.It's always busy, and for a reason:it serves some of the best coffee anywhere.It's also one of the city's most handsome coffee bars, a great place to linger.

  Stumptown is strategically close to the Marc Jacobs show at the Armory on Lexington Avenue at East 26th Street.Also close by is the coffee bar at Maialiano, the restaurant on the ground floor of the Gramercy Park Hotel.If your expense account can weather it, you could go to Eleven Madison Park, a temple to fine dining that offers some of the most expensive coffee in New York; ask for a place at the bar, ask for the Chemex and settle in for the show.

  New York's coffee scene is exploding, even in once-desolate neighborhoods.Here's a shortlist that will serve you no matter where you are in Manhattan.

  Bluebird Coffee Shop(East Village), sunny and adorable; get the cortado and the brown butter ginger cookie.

  Culture Espresso Bar(Midtown), always busy, and always excellent.

  Everyman Espresso(Union Square), a tiny coffee bar in the lobby of an off-Broadway theater; one of the few places that makes AeroPress coffee.

  Gimme(NoLIta), small and crowded, a classic European-style espresso bar.

  Peels(the Bowery), a serious coffee bar and build-a-biscuit breakfasts, and just across the street from Billy Reid.

  RBC NYC(TriBeCa), an extensive collection of gadgets and beans, coffee shop for coffee nuts.

  Saturdays Surf(SoHo), surf store with limited-edition sneakers and a coffee bar.

  Third Rail(Washington Square Park), one of the city's best t coffee bars, and one with cozy and quiet environment.

  Whitney Museum of American Art(Upper East Side), a new coffee cart on the garden level of Breuer's Brutalist masterpiece.
