The Holidays in New York: In Search of Free Coffee

We went down to the Time Warner Center today to check out the Illy Coffee Push Button House we've heard so much about. Basically, it's a shipping container-turned-coffee bar that hypes Illy espresso. Even though it's a living commercial, we like the idea because there's nothing better than free coffee while you're shopping.

Except it looks like Illy is taking a page from the playbook of nearby Six Columbus. We didn't find the house in the big vacant spot it's supposed to fill on the second floor, though the mall says it should be there from November 26-December 29. Further digging reveals they've pushed the opening date back to November 29.

No free coffee? That's definitely not in the holiday spirit...

no free coffee

but you just gave them free publicity.  Not fair!

Heh. I know...

I hate to hype their shifty spot... But maybe now lots of people will go and demand their free espresso and drive them out of not-business!
