How to Throw a New York-Themed Party.

Forget crystal coupes and fancy flutes – a New York-themed party will bring the spirit of the city to life with cocktails served in none other than Anthora paper coffee cups. Guests are instructed to dress like extras from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and the playlist must include Sinatra’s “New York, New York.”  Bartenders sling Manhattans, Negronis, and Espresso Martinis into the iconic blue-and-white cups with their “We Are Happy to Serve You” motto.  Drinking cocktails from a paper cup channels the spirit of the speakeasy era – when discretion was key, glamour was improvised, and the best drinks were often served in the most unexpected vessels.

The Anthora cup – long a symbol of everyday New York – will be the cheeky centerpiece, connecting everyone to the gritty glamour of a city that never sleeps. It’s a playful reminder that you don’t need silver trays or velvet ropes to feel fancy.  All it takes is good friends, strong drinks, and a paper cup with a lot of history. 

Dedicated to preserving the legacy of the iconic Anthora coffee cup – a true symbol of New York City’s street culture, corner delis, and daily rituals – NY Coffee Cup celebrates its enduring design, cultural significance, and place in coffee history, both in NYC and beyond.
