I went to a celeb-loved Turkish coffee fortune teller in NYC — here’s what he told me
NY Post
Fortune favors the bold — coffee, that is.
One Friday winter night in New York City, I took a break from my daily grind and stopped by “Dr. Honeybrew’s Turkish Coffee Room“— a theatrical coffee fortune-telling ceremony located in a “top secret” East Village location that had the feel of being in one’s living room.
During the show, up to eight audience members are invited to drink a cup of Turkish coffee, freshly brewed over a bed of piping hot sand, and then have their futures read by Dr. Honeybrew, who has done over 8,000 readings for people worldwide — including celebs like Philip Glass and Andre 3000.
“When people walk in here, they may walk in as strangers, but everybody ends up leaving as friends at the end,” Honeybrew, 34 told The Post of his shows, which cost $49 a pop on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The performances sell out every week and Honeybrew doesn’t advertise — the buzz is all word of mouth.
Upon arrival, an enthusiastic Dr. Honeybrew welcomes guests into the bright yellow space, which smells of honey and is adorned with yellow flowers hanging from the ceiling and honeycomb-like decor on the walls.
After enjoying a warm cuppa, included with the price of their ticket, attendees get to see their leftover coffee grinds projected onto a screen with an endoscope camera to magnify the image of the remaining sludge.
