For “My Coffee Cup” and a Cool Place to Sit and Sip It


On July 27, 2015 a new coffee shop opened in Glendale, Queens and I heard about it from more than one person. Neither the title nor the glimpse of the outside of this cafe will give way to the nuance that lies inside. For what lies inside was worth my trip to Queens today.




My Coffee Cup seems like an ordinary cafe and they have a wide array of menu options. While the strawberry smoothie I had was tasty as was my mother’s ice cream sundae, these were not the reasons for this visit. Rather we were here to ride the teacups. Yep just like Alice in Wonderland. Or Disney World, even though I skipped that ride when I was there. 



I do not know why but this restaurant has giant tea cups that appear as though they are on saucers with a table in the center that look as if you could spin them to create movement. There are a few booths for sitting inside and regular tables outside when the weather permits. But I had to sit in the teacup and was thankful that when I went to sit, I fit in it.




The teacups do not move around, which is good considering this is a place where you are eating and drinking and do not necessarily want to get motion sickness. As it was a Friday afternoon it was quiet and only one other table was occupied when I arrived. This was a great relief to me as I know weekends can be pretty packed. In fact tomorrow they were closing to host a bridal shower. Odd but fun I suppose. There is limited seating, however. 

Although this visit was brief it was fun to see something that others probably have not. It makes my pictures and social media that much more interesting. It just goes to further prove that I truly am, The Queen of F-cking Everything

For Find Out Friday - Why Do Emery Boards Make My Skin Crawl?

You know that sound a fingernail makes when it scratches against a chalkboard?  You know that feeling the sound of that action gives you? I, like most people, hate that sound.  I instantly feel like scrunching my shoulders up to my neck and closing my eyes.  I feel the exact same way when I am using an emery board to file my nails. This annoying sensation has a name: “grima” which is Spanish for disgust or uneasiness. This term basically describes any feeling of being displeased, annoyed, or dissatisfied someone or something.  It is a feeling that psychologists are starting to pay more attention to as it relates to our other emotions.  Emery boards are traditionally made with cardboard that has small grains of sand adhered to them. It is the sandpaper that I believe makes me filled with grima.  According to studies that are being done around the world, it is not just the feeling that we associate with certain things like nails on a chalkb...

For My Madness During Migraine Awareness Month

Last weekend as I sat staring at the blank page in front of me, I was still surprised and elated that I had an entire day to myself and unlike past experiences it was filled with what I wanted when I wanted it. There were a few rough moments but when I consider the previous twelve hours (and the days to come) have been better than the last week. Especially this last week even though I had braced myself ahead of time, I just didn’t know I should have braced for a more serious episode. I am a chronic migraine sufferer for so many years I don’t quite remember when they started exactly which is ironic because I can remember every special event they have ruined. I remember plays or dinners I was at where I don’t remember what happened but I could tell you what I felt minute by minute. It amazing how the mind works, especially when it’s operated by a migraine brain. In the last few years, specifically the last few years since I have been going to the Montefiore Headac...

For Find Out Friday - Why is One Foot More Ticklish Than the Other?

As I sit here typing I can’t seem to stop thinking about my nails. Mainly that they REALLY need to get done. They are starting to chip and become unruly. As soon I as think about making an appointment my mind immediately returns to this question: “which of my feet will be ticklish this time?” Because I am a girl that needs her fingernails and toenails to match, I always get a pedicure whenever I get my nails done. And while this should be an activity I enjoy, it often feels like a chore, despite my going only once every three to four weeks. I know; #firstworldproblems.  Anyway, each and every time I get my toes done, as soon as they are done soaking in the bubbly water I wonder, which of my feet will be ticklish today?  Without fail one of them always seems to get the brunt of it and suddenly what was supposed to be a relaxing activity has made me all tense. So, is there a scientific reason for this?  According to most research, yes. While the ...
