Hot and Fun! New Amsterdam Market

Today in 95+ degree heat we joined 56 amazing gourmet foodie folks at the New Amsterdam Market at the South Street Seaport.  We served iced coffee and tea to cool folks down and delight the tongue and of course we offered whole beans from Stumptown and Intelligentsia.

We met great people and talked about coffee all day.  Sometimes we actually forgot how hot it was.

We hope to be back in the future.  Thanks to everyone who came out to see us...we had a blast.

NY Times: A Coffe Bar for Cyclists

"The Third Rail Coffee setup is serious, and offers a complete menu. You can get your coffee to go, though it’s hard not to be drawn in by the Tour and grab a seat..."

“Everybody I know who’s a cyclist is also a coffee nut,” said Mike Spriggs, the manager of Rapha Cycle Club. “They go hand in hand. I do a lot of rides that end up at a coffee shop. That way I can get the fuel to get back.”

Third Rail is One Year Old

 

On July 3rd, we hit the one year mark!

A huge thank you to everyone that celebrated our birthday with us.  Our beloved Railers, customers, family and friends made it an amazing night!

An enormous thank you to our customers for your support and welcoming us into the community. We look forward to serving you lots and lots of coffee in the coming year.

The Rail Runs East

 

The Rail is setting up shop inside the Rapha Cycle Club, located at 352 Bowery (at Great Jones). This pop-up shop, which will open on July 3, for 3 months is part store, part coffee bar and part art gallery.

We are looking forward to an exciting three months of coffee events and activities (like cuppings, jams etc) and experimenting with different brew methods, kicking it off with our go to Chemex, rolling into single-cup cone filters like the V60’s and you may even spot a syphon or two.

We are thrilled to be teaming up with people who are as passionate about cycling as we are about coffee. It’s going to be a wild ride!

Last chance to see Guillermo Siminiani's Photographs at the Rail

 
















Born in Spain, Guillermo has lived in NYC since 1994. His international photographs capture the balance between the environment and the free will of the subject. 

Guillermo’s photos will be on display for the next few weeks. 

Third Rail Coffee Named one of NYC's Top Ten Coffee Spots!

"Third Rail Coffee punches above its weight. It’s one of the city’s smallest coffee bars, and its most focused. The owners, Humberto Ricardo and Rita McCaffrey, offer at least two different espresso blends (each needs its own grinder, a commitment of capital and counter space), single-origin coffee in a Chemex and a full range of espresso drinks. The cortado is memorable."

Rosettas for Relief - Haiti

Last night we had two of our Baristas represent us at the Rosettas for Relief event held at Joe on 13th street. We're super proud of you both - JJB and Dan - and today we look up to you. Not just because you guys rock the bar but because you really took this tragedy in Haiti to heart and made the time and effort to raise funds for an excellent cause. 

Many many props to Sam Penix of Everyman Espresso for spearheading what's turned into a national (and now maybe international?) series of fund-raising events. Of course there were others who helped, and are helping, to pull it all together and we thank you very much. 

Congrats to all the winners as well - all *ahem* joe baristas ; )
