at cancer society of NZI was born and bred in Brooklyn, and grew up drinking Manhattan Special espresso soda. Now that I live overseas (in NZ), I crave the stuff. When I visit my family in Brooklyn and Florida, they always have plenty of Manhattan SPecial on hand for me - God bless 'em. I've got a seltzter machine and am trying to make my own espresso soda, but I know it will never be as good as the real thing. You folks should market this stuff overseas - ex-pats like me would love it!lana nieves can also be reached at: lana@paradise.net.nz

I clicked random link on the search engine and ended up on your site. Nice site, good job and hello from Canada.

Thank you so much for having the best espresso drink ever. As a child I would hang out in the summer on Manhattan Ave. and Skillman Ave and watch the filled bottles come down the line, every once in a while your man would take a warm bottle of soda off the line and hand It to me. It tasted sooo good. Thanks for the memories, John Ruggieri JOHN RUGGIERI can also be reached at: JSR112@AOL.COM

I love Manhattan special coffee soda! I first tried it in the mid 1970's...and have been a loyal consumer of this product ever since. Salute!Greg Melograno can also be reached at: Vintalia@aol.com

In July, 1976, I started working in a neighborhood Italian Deli in the Bronx (Cold Cut City, Allerton Ave, remember it?). It was there I was introduced to the best soda in the world. It helped us get through the long summer days and nights. Five years later I graduated from college and moved to CT. Since then, whenever I visit the Bronx, I make sure to bring some home. The last time was just yesterday, and I emptied a local grocery store of all he had. Thanks for such a great product.

I lived in Little Italy for a little while and loved to drink MS. Of course at that time there was only one flavor. Do you know where I can find it in So Florida. I'm traveling back to NYC soon and look forward to drinking it once more and sharing it my daughter who has never tried. Awesome site!!Mercedes De Brosse can also be reached at: mercydb@aol.com

I have grown up in Brooklyn drinking the "WORLDS GREATEST DRINK", now that I live on Long Island, East Setauket, It is not easy to find. When I do find it, I stock up. I have wonderful memories as a boy drinking Manhattan Special with family and friends. It is a part of my culture that I will never give up. Thank you so much for the memories and please do what you can to spread the joy to others. Waldbaums seems to be the only supermarket that carries it. Do you know of others? Stop and Shop would be great. Thank you again. Louis J. DeMatteoLouis & Barbara DeMatteo can also be reached at: 76eldo@optonline.net

Hello,lately my Son has had a sore throat. I had gone to the supermarket and found some special herbal tea for him. It was a combination of licorice and slippery elm root. It is delicious and works too. I make a big potfull and its even better when it cools. I use honey to sweeten it and find that the flavor is added this way. Also to coat the throat. Anywat,the thought came to mind how excellant it would be to have a carbonated drink like this. Then I thought to myself. And thought of the Manhattan Special people because of there quality of products. Hey my Family came from Brooklyn. I feel connected in some way. Maybe its because I have always enjoyed your espesso soda so much. Sometimes I just have to have it! Especially with a salami and provalone sandwich. So is there a reason why no one has ever made anise flavored soda? Would be great to hear from you.

I grew up in Sheepshead Bay, Brookyn, and lived there for 27 years before moving to to FL. EVERY day coming home from work off the D train in the Bay station I'd go right into Bagels R Us under the tressel right across the street and get a hot dozen bagels and a big bottle of MS. I don't even think they HAD sugar free back then! This is the first I'm hearing about it! My dad used to drink it all the time when we went to Joe's to get the panelles and boy, nothing else goes with a pannelle but an MS. I still remember how my dad would savor the MS in those little bottles, and I'm the only one in my family who followed suit and fell in love with the taste instantly. It is SOOOO addictive, but the dad started putting on a few pounds and mom blamed it on the MS and the sugar. Yeah, right mom, it couldn't be that dad was sucking down a foot long hero every time he opened a bottle LOL back then we counted calories, not fat grams! I can't WAIT to try the sugar free MS and I'm tired of trying to find a little deli here and there in Florida that carries it. I know of only one, but it's quite a drive and MS is something I want to see in my local store right next to those Goya sodas that somehow the stores cater to in the "ethnic" sections of the supermarkets. How come the MS isn't next to the Stello D'oro rack?? Let me know when MS is available online to order by the cases. This way I don't have to hunt down what the stores down here that call themselves Italian keep forgetting goes with a hero. But then again, what they call a hero/sub down here with the crappy bread the have the nerve to call Italian bread deserves to go with a Coke. I'll worry about that later, just get the MS's online and I'll worry about the fatty prosciutto and cappicola later. D. Galati can also be reached at: stargazor@hotmail.com

I was born on the lower east side of manhattan and my grandparents had this stuff in the fridge of their Mott Street apartment all the time. I started drinking this stuff in a baby bottle!! It is the best product in a bottle (except for maybe wine!). I now live in Lancaster County PA. and ask my brother from Leonard Street in Brooklyn to not show up on my door step unless he is holding a case of Sugar Free Espresso soda. This stuff rules!!! I will now be attempting to get the soda delivered to my home. Buono Natale to all my paisans in NY. Rosario S. Mazza can also be reached at: rsmazza@ptd.net

Growing up in Brooklyn most of my life there were certain things you could count on, like Nathan's fries and Manhattan special soda. Having moved out to California four years ago left me missing my roots, but also my beloved soda. I recently searched for my dark bean passion on-line and low and behold stumbled upon the web site. I couldn't be happier. Now, not only do I have my dark elixir, but I can have it without sugar as well and shipped right to my door. Air fare is too expensive to be running back and forth three thousand miles lugging the bottles. Well it almost feels like home now. I am still working on how to get the Nathan's fries shipped while they're still hot. Thanks for all of the sweet memories, Denise McCarthy Denise mcCarthy can also be reached at: djm2664825@aol.com

I left NJ in 1984. I've been in Northern Florida for 16+ years now and miss Manhattan Special very much. My dad used to bring it to me when he came to vist. He passed in 1994, so it's been quite a while since I've had my "fix". I've described this incomparable beverage to my teenage daughter and now she's on as much of a quest as I am to find it here in our area. If anyone knows where to get it here, PLEASE contact me.Mary can also be reached at: KMES719@aol.com

Hi to the beautiful people in Brooklyn first, I found this fine drink one day while visiting there on a spring vacation this past year. That is 2002, since I am not sure when you will get to this... So, I was shopping for ingredients for enchiladas and was advised by our friends we were visiting there, to go to your store. I found what I needed, and found your drink, since I was gonna be cookin' alot that night. It was different choice from just a Coke. Nice! Hope to order some for our enjoyment soon!
