The NYC Best Coffee map by Butterfruit Labs edits the familiar New York City subway map to include coffee shops that can easily be reached at each stop. The coffee shops that were chosen for this map include charming local cafes and even some larger coffee chains, based off of the coffee shop's equipment, bean types, proximity to subway stops and of course, reviews from people. The remixed subway map is what the city must look like in the eyes of a serious coffee connoisseur.
