Ed Hawco : Manifest Destiny in a cup

I would only add that my complaint includes the coffee. And since we're on the subject, can someone explain to me what it is with paper cups in Boston? Is there anywhere left to get a cup of coffee in a ceramic cup? I remember stopping somewhere on Newbury Street for a quick rest one day in December, about ten years ago. I ordered an espresso. What I got was two nested full-sized sized paper cups with my tiny coffee huddling in the corner as if cold and shivering, trapped at the bottom of some long abandoned well. Since then, I've had the occasional cup of decent coffee while visiting Americaland, but I pretty much gave up all hope after that.
