Like a lot of people, Butterfruit Labs is an app developer, that like a lot of people, that finds its work is better when it's fuelled by coffee. Two of its developers recently spent some time in NYC and of course, found themselves drinking lots of coffee there.
The NYC Best Coffee map by Butterfruit Labs edits the familiar New York City subway map to include coffee shops that can easily be reached at each stop. The coffee shops that were chosen for this map include charming local cafes and even some larger coffee chains, based off of the coffee shop's equipment, bean types, proximity to subway stops and of course, reviews from people. The remixed subway map is what the city must look like in the eyes of a serious coffee connoisseur.
