Man Visits 171 Starbucks in 24 Hours
This fellow, named Mark Malkoff, has done what many people has thought of doing but just did have the gusto to pull off. He ventured to visit every Starbucks establishment in Manhattan in 24 hours.
Look at how his day starts:
4:00 a.m.
After analyzing charts and graphs, calculating miles, and assessing store hours, I still can't decide if I've found the fastest route. The only thing more frustrating is that I'm about to hit 171 Starbucks and I don't drink coffee. All I can do now is cross my fingers.
5:01 a.m.
We arrive at 181st and Washington Heights. The store is set to open at 5:30 a.m.
5:23 a.m.
Most Starbucks open 10 minutes early and stay open 10 minutes late. The door is still locked. I start to sweat.
5:33 a.m.
Store Count: 1 They finally open three minutes late. I chug a double shot of espresso and sprint out, jacked up on my first caffeinated drink of the day. 170 more to go.
6:22 a.m.
Store Count: 4 Samantha, the barista at Broadway and 114th Street, is way too happy for 6:22 a.m. I tell her I'll have whatever is in her Starbucks cup. She says it's water and that she isn't a coffee drinker, which is like being a vegan waitress at Outback Steakhouse.
