The place is quite tiny so I didn't get any great shots, but it definitely has a few cute aspects, including the string of postcards near the door, presumably from loyal customers on their worldly travels (?).
While I was sipping and shooting, a girl at the other table approached me about my camera. She was a fellow photographer who was actually there editing pictures. Not only did she have the coolest name ever (Ash Fox), but she had very pretty features and I couldn't resist a little impromptu portrait taking.
I can't decide whether I like the effect this random flare has on the second picture or if I should have edited that out!Thanks to Ash for letting me shoot these. :)
Oh yeah, and the cappuccino? Very good. Milk a smidgen too hot. I rate it above the likes of Joe and Kaffe 1668, but you know where my heart still belongs to.
it looks like a sweet place to visit maybe next time I'm in N-Y!
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm gonna have a coffee grand tour next time I'm in NY because of your blog! Love the graphics you add to your photos...really gives the entire post a very magazine-like feel. Congrats on your new FB page too!
ReplyDeletehow awesome, sounded like fun! and yes, congrats on ur FB page :)
ReplyDeletei wish i could meet photogs randomly in coffee places! and that they'd also pose for me too. :)
ReplyDeleteDitto what Jacqueline said! I would love to randomly meet a fellow photog for an impromptu portrait setting & in a cafe setting no less!
ReplyDeleteps: the flare reminds me of some expired film imperfection which to me is perfection!
great shots as always, Alice!
beautiful portraits, I rather like the random flare in the second photo.
ReplyDeleteWhat! You were six blocks away and didn't tell me?
ReplyDeleteLove the spontaneity. Miss u!
I like the flare. Adds a naturalness to the picture and not a distraction at all. Her pretty face holds up the image very well.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful shots!ciao ciao
ReplyDeleteShe is just gorgeous! Great shots. : )
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos as always. Love the random flair! And that cap looks delicious!
ReplyDeletelovely post. the impromptu portraits are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I just checked out your portfolio/website as well and fell in love with the styling. So glad I found you and your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSaw your facebook fan page and had to join right away :) Awesome shots here again - especially liking the shot with the random flare!
ReplyDeleteHey Alice! This i so cool!
ReplyDeleteIt was so great meeting you that day at Lucid. I've been clicking around and all of your photos are gorgeous. You are very talented. Hope to reconnect soon. :)

Do you have any idea how long Lucid Café has been around? We stayed at the Affinia Shelburne which is located next to the Café, but I don't remember it being there (we stayed in New York late August 2010).
ReplyDeleteSure seems like a nice café to visit. Ah, how I wish I could visit NYC once more...
The random flare in the portrait gives it a natural feeling, love the other photographs as well (as I always do :)).
I just stayed at the Affinia Shelbourne last week and stopped into the cafe a couple times as well. It took my off guard seeing these photos as same girl was working... with the same hat.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
