The story of how Union Square Cafe, the famous restaurant in New York, became as important to my family as it is to the national restaurant industry begins, in a way, before I was born. Even though my brother, sisters, and I were raised in what we considered a boring suburb of Hartford in the 1980s, my mother always subscribed to New York magazine.
There are a lot of decisions to make at Asha near Union Square. Many of their drinks come with a list of follow-ups-sweetness and ice level preferences, milk choice, and even add-ons for seasonal fruit purees like mango, blueberry, and mango. All that customization means a drink that you'll more than likely be happy with, but it might end up taking a bit of time to make.
