Re:Manhattan Special rocks (Score 1)

I first learned about Manhattan Specials from a New Yorker friend about 25 years ago and, luckily, a local italian deli stocks them so I can still get my occasional fix...but don't count on your average run of the mill New Yorker knowing anything about them...I travel in and out of the city a lot and have run into very few of the people I've worked with who even knew of them let alone where to get them....now if they're caffeine addicts like me, you could be in luck. Manhattan Specials are an acquired taste and steer clear of the sugar free version unless your taste buds are completely knocked out. The small bottles are just the right size but for the true junkie they now have quarts. Count on one quart keeping you up for the whole night. They're the perfect compliment to a meal of sausages stuffed with peppers and onions with a side of home fries. (The real deal...sliced thin and cooked golden brown with sweet onions, not the over the top imitation diced crap polluted with paprika that some eateries pass off as home fries!)
