An hour each way for breakfast? I love your passion, Think!

Back in 2000, my mentor professor mentioned getting "New York Coffees" a couple times in class, but it always seemed more complex than a simple style choice, so I asked him about it one day.
He said a "New York Coffee" is when he and his wife would take "Elvira," his blacked-out 90's Chevrolet Impala SS, to New York City for a coffee...because it was the best coffee and the best place to have a coffee.
I was weirded out that someone would drive 4 hours for a coffee, but not long after that my then girlfriend/now wife drove through Smuggler's Notch (from Northern MA) to grab lunch from a Chinese restaurant we really loved when she was at Johnson State.
These days, if not hitting up a destination restaurant—The Old Salt, Tuckaway, Brown's, etc.—we have the kiddos choose a mark on the compass rose, drive an hour or two, and begin to look for places with good ratings. Great adventures (and food)!
