uh as i
understand it now operates a museum for potatoes uh or no not for potatoes a
museum in which you
can go in and look at potatoes but don't worry it's not in this country uh it's
in brussels we'll
find out he's apparently quite serious about this uh you know new york is a
city that offers the best
of everything in fact you may find this hard to believe but there are not one
but two places
that claim to have the world's best coffee right here in new york city so we
stopped by to see how
they do it

just to get a bus or a taxi to go home did you realize that you're drinking the
world's best coffee

well basically i'm coming
from washington heights where i live but i had to go here to a lawyer across
the street but i couldn't
accomplish what i wanted so i decided to have a cup of coffee and and
surprisingly enough it's the
world's best coffee isn't it is that so i don't know have you ever had the
coffee in other countries

like two paris would
be number one that's correct okay thank you bernard uh excuse me sir what is

good now so is this but this
is coffee isn't it it's sanka it's sanka would you consider this to be the best
sanka in the world
