Food and Drink at Interbrand New York

I've been asked by quite a few people here what my favourite thing is about New York. Frankly, it has to be the food. The variety, cost, quality and quantity beats anywhere else I've been by a distance. Sure, Japan has better ingredients, China is much cheaper and Italy takes more pride, but for the mix of all four. The big apple takes the biscuit.

Our Interbrand office is no exception. Everyday they lay on a free breakfast:

Monday: Bagels, cream cheese and fruit
Tuesday: Bagels, cream cheese and fruit
Wednesday: Oatmeal
Thursday: Bagels, cream cheese and fruit
Friday: Cooked breakfast

I'm trying to avoid the bagels though. A moment on the lips... So, like the UK, I'm bringing in Special K to work (the cereal, not the horse tranquiliser), like the big girl I am.

Friday's breakfast below:

They also love their coffee here. There is an impressive 9 (nine!) varieties of coffee available on a drip all day every day in the office. My only caveat is that they are all pretty crap. But at least there's variety. A large variety of crap food could be a pretty good metaphor for consumerism in the US, but that's a thought for a more thoughtful blog. Back to food...

Coffee at Interbrand

(note to self: staff at interbrand do not like to be photographed at 9am when they've come downstairs for a coffee)

We even have a large array of Interbrand mugs to drink our Interbrew out of.
