This is Rick, who has owned the espresso cart on the ground floor of City Hall for seven years (and 12 years on 5th Avenue before that). He makes an excellent double short Americano. Does Rick get good gossip? "No, you'd think we would," Rick says coyly. Uh huh. Who's his favorite elected official? "I can't tell you that," he says. "That would be the kiss of death! This is a business." If he told all of us his favorite officials, it would hurt everybody else's feelings, he says. Also, he want you to know the business is called City Grind, not just "the coffee cart at City Hall."
