Cafee' Mille Luci

A Saturday morning back in 1986 in the Mille Luci Cafe in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. I was shooting for an Italian client who wanted to make a book on the various Little Italys in New York. People relaxing, talking and standing at the bar for their caffe'. We simply call it  un caffe' and not un espresso because it's understood. Also, in the Italian style, espresso is drunk in a hot cup, standing at the bar and in one or maximum two gulps. It is followed by  small drink of water. It barely seems possible that these images were shot over 30 years.
