I thought people were telling lies about Buena Vista's Irish Coffee. It's like when someone tells you that you should go see a movie because it's the best movie ever made... your expectations are high, but really, all of the best parts were given away in the previews, and it left nothing for you to enjoy. Well... that's not the case with Buena Vista at all. So good. You walk into this little (pretty unsuspecting) place, and it's a hub. All of the seats and tables are filled with laughing people, and the bartenders are pouring Irish Coffees faster than you can order them.
It's pretty magical. They line up the glasses, pour boiling water into them to warm them up, drop in two sugar cubes, pour in the coffee and Irish Whiskey at the same time, then top it with the cream. And it all goes pretty quickly. I am not a fan of Irish Coffee, but I figured when in Rome... and I'm so glad I did. It was spectacular. I sat at the bar, met some lovely people, we had great coffee and great conversation, and they even sprang for my second coffee! It was great.
