Nonfat, no foam, no hassle

I hate to admit this but there are so many things that New York does better than London. Just above "winter" and below "Bacon" is this beautiful app from Starbucks




The ubiquitous west coast chain had ran a trial of 16 spaces in Seattle and San Francisco and has now rolled out to the city. It's cool, and really simple. You download a barcode that is linked to your credit card and hold up your phone to pay

Again, this is something that fits Starbucks perfectly, stress free convenience



My boy Doron always takes care of me when we do our status at the local on 7th Ave and 36th. He bought me a gingerbread latte (I don't know why...I wouldn't dream of having one over here!) paid and simultaneously showed me his recent transactions and his impressive array of Starbucks stars.

Good.
