Best 75 cent cup of coffee...

To me, enjoying a coffee need not involve an over-caffeinated, steroid-sized cup of status symbol. Despite the Ratnerization of this fair isle, there are still some decent brews available for 75 or even 60 cents -- and much respect due to any cafe or bodega owner engaged in such culinary-economic resistance. My favorite is Mei Lai Wah Coffeehouse at 64 Bayard Street.

    1. re: noot

      Mud Truck is $1.

    2. "Ratnerization"? I must be out of the loop. Please explain.
      For the record, I love the coffee at Mei Lei Wah- it gets my heart beating like a pinball machine. That, and just about anyone's version of vietnamese iced coffee, although I'm not sure that the average Chinatown cup meets your price range.
