  A good place to start is Stumptown Coffee Roasters in the Ace Hotel.It's always busy, and for a reason:it serves some of the best coffee anywhere.It's also one of the city's most handsome coffee bars, a great place to linger.

  Stumptown is strategically close to the Marc Jacobs show at the Armory on Lexington Avenue at East 26th Street.Also close by is the coffee bar at Maialiano, the restaurant on the ground floor of the Gramercy Park Hotel.If your expense account can weather it, you could go to Eleven Madison Park, a temple to fine dining that offers some of the most expensive coffee in New York; ask for a place at the bar, ask for the Chemex and settle in for the show.

  New York's coffee scene is exploding, even in once-desolate neighborhoods.Here's a shortlist that will serve you no matter where you are in Manhattan.

  Bluebird Coffee Shop(East Village), sunny and adorable; get the cortado and the brown butter ginger cookie.

  Culture Espresso Bar(Midtown), always busy, and always excellent.

  Everyman Espresso(Union Square), a tiny coffee bar in the lobby of an off-Broadway theater; one of the few places that makes AeroPress coffee.

  Gimme(NoLIta), small and crowded, a classic European-style espresso bar.

  Peels(the Bowery), a serious coffee bar and build-a-biscuit breakfasts, and just across the street from Billy Reid.

  RBC NYC(TriBeCa), an extensive collection of gadgets and beans, coffee shop for coffee nuts.

  Saturdays Surf(SoHo), surf store with limited-edition sneakers and a coffee bar.

  Third Rail(Washington Square Park), one of the city's best t coffee bars, and one with cozy and quiet environment.

  Whitney Museum of American Art(Upper East Side), a new coffee cart on the garden level of Breuer's Brutalist masterpiece.

  Our coffee map offers more choices within Manhattan.Or, if you have an iPhone, you can download the Filter, a free guide to coffee throughout New York City from our site.

  The day finally came, when I had to leave the warm home where I'd grown up.I ran to the back yard, as tears came up from my heart.Suddenly I   1   a hand rest on my shoulder.I looked up to   2   my grandfather.''It isn't   3   , is it, Billy?'' he said softly.

  Gently   4   my hand in his, we walked, hand in hand, to the front yard,   5   a huge red rose-bush sat alone.

  ''What do you see here, Billy?'' he asked.I looked at the flowers, not knowing   6   to say, and then answered,''I see something soft and   7   , grandpa.''

  He pulled me   8  .''It isn't just the roses that are beautiful, Billy.It's that special place in your heart that makes them so.'' ''Billy, I   9   these roses when my first son was born.It was my   10   of saying 'thank you' to God.I   11   to watch him pick roses for his mother.Then, as a young man of only 20, a terrible war robbed him of his life.'' Grandpa slowly stood up.''Never say good-bye, Billy.Never   12   to the sadness and the loneliness.Instead, I want you to remember the joy and the   13   when you first said hello to a friend.''

  A year later, my grandpa became very   14  .Then all members of the family

  were   15   back, and I returned to the old house.When it came to my   16   , I took his hand as   17   as he had once taken mine.

  ''Hello, grandpa,'' I   18  .His eyes slowly opened and said, ''Hello, my friend.'' With a brief   19   he died.Suddenly, and truly, I knew what he had   20   about never saying good-bye - about refusing to give in to sadness.

On Sunday, the day after my second visit to the Saturn store, my wife, Jane, said, “I don’t know if you remember, but today’s my fifth anniversary of being cancer-free.” She had been  36 with breast cancer five years ago and undergone surgery. I was  37 that I had forgotten.

The next day, Jane went to work and I called Saturn to  38 her a new car. I knew she had always wanted a  39 car. The sales consultant at Saturn said he had one left  40 he couldn’t guarantee it’d still be available because they were  41 fast. I said I’d take my  42 and asked him to put it in the showroom.

At 9:30 Saturday morning I turned into the Saturn parking lot. “What are you doing?” Jane asked  43 . “You promised me we’d get home  44 .”

But no sooner had we stepped into the store than Jane  45 the little white Saturn coupe(双门轿车). “Oh, what a pretty car,” she said. “I’d love the new car.”

46 she let out a scream. A sign stood on the hood(车篷)of the car and it said “ 47 , Jane. This car is yours. Let’s celebrate  48 . From Milt, Billy and Team Saturn”

Jane collapsed in my arms and  49 . I was in tears too. There was 50 in the store. Our sales consultant had  51 it so that we could share the moment alone. Even so, people were standing outside the windows. When Jane collapsed in my arms, I saw everybody outside  52 .  

Over the years, I’ve told this story across the world as an example of excellent  53 . A woman in San Francisco heard it. She called  54 long distance and bought a new car.

It’s like what a Saturn sales consultant said: “It’s only the  55 told about us that differentiate(区别)us in the market place.”

I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence(玩世不恭) was  31 to me. We liked each other the first instant we met.   32 , I was a straight A student and my parents had high hopes for me to  33  an Ivy League (常春藤联盟) school. Billy did not concentrate all his attention  34 his study and school life. However, we were in love --- so  35 teenager love. I still remember we had a plan for prom(舞会). It was understood that we had  36  about where we would dance and drink and party together.

  This meant one thing to my parents---panic. And it grew as the  37  letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to, nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University---the Ivy League _ 38  in 1770 in historic Providence, Rhode Island.

  There was no  39  that I was drawn to Brown, but Billy (who had joined the army) was __40  down south and I had offers  41 for me there, too. I was torn between my love for him and my family  42  .

  One week  43 the start of school, my mother had a talk with me. She said I was eighteen years old and I had a  44  to make--- one that went   45 beyond the choice of  46  to attend university.

  In August, I  47 and drove north to Providence. It took several months to  48  that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy’s. Brown changed my life, opening doors and giving me the  49 I now use to think, to learn and to write. Life is always about  50 it seems, and the older I get, the more I understand this. Still, there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love.
