The Anti-Starbucks?
March 6, 2007, 8:18.00 pm ET
Walking into MUD, or mudspot as it is known, it became clear just how anti-Starbucks this place really is. From the message of peace posted on a blackboard outside to its funky red lighting, and its wooden bar with glowing crystals, to its crowd that looks like something out of the 60s (I was waiting for Billy Jack to walk in) I was taken back for a moment. But after one sip I was a believer again. Peace, love and java baby.
Mudspot - 307 E 9th St off 2nd Ave.
