I visited New York for the first time three years ago. Upon my stay there I enjoyed Manhattan Special for the first time. I just wish that it was sold in my home in Pittsburgh. With the introduction of "Coca-Cola Blak", I am worried that the Coca-Cola Company will try to replace them.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn and am currently living in Florida. As a kid you couldn't eat a hero without a Manhattan Special. We found a place in FLA that sells Manhattan Special, but it is quite a distance away. Could we order Manhattan Special directly? medical teacher @aol.com

"The Best" I have been drinking Manhattan Special since I was a child and it cost 10 cents a bottle....I wish that more store in the area would carry it. Have to go to Mulberry St. New York to find it now.

I was just at the Jersey Shore, Belmar/Spring Lake/Avon, and I had my first Manhattan Special (espresso, original). What a delicious drink! I live in the Midwest and hope to find it around here. But if not, I'll certainly enjoy one on my next trip to the Jersey Shore. Thanks for such a great drink!

growing up in new york city in a italian neighborhood we all drank this wonderful drink with milk or just plain it was a shame when i moved upstate ny and nobody heard of it so unless i make a 5 hour trip down to the city i can not have my manhattan special that i so love.

Your soda still brings back the good old days. Your Diet Manhattan Special tastes great. All the best, Ciao Gianni

the best soda I have ever tasted not too sweet and taste like the flavor it says,thanks.Peace!

There is only one word that sums up Manhattan Special.......Tradition I am 32 years old and have been drinking Manhattan Special since I was a fetus!!! So for me it means tradition, it means "Home". As a kid growing up in Brooklyn after running around outside playing skelsies we would run into Aunt Antoinette's apartment (cause she was the closest being on the bottom floor of the brownstone) and grab a Manhattan Special from the bottom shelf of her fridge. To this day Aunt Ann who is now 95 years old, God Bless her, open the fridge and reach on the bottom shelf and you'll still find it there!!! Or even better yet, go to the Panelle Store on Union St., get yourself a potato/panelle special or a rice ball with sauce and from the soda fountain you will be served Manhattan Special!!! These are the traditions I grew up with, these are what I plan to pass on to my son (presently 6 mos old). But even at 6 mos old he already had his first taste, and he liked it!! Thanks for 32+ years of Home and I pray for another 132+ years

MY family and I HAVE BEEN DRINKING MANATTAN SPECIALS,For many years and i will always remember sitting around the block on my steps in the summertime drinking it. Want to tell you it's the best i had ever tasted.I come frome a family of 7 chrildren. And we all drank it i love in Long Island now with my chrildren. And no one here sells it i am upset about that iI use to drive to new york city just to buy it and shop of course. Wish there was a store here i could be able to buy it at. Thank Y ou So Much for the Memeorys, Yours Truely ELIZABETH PALAZZO

In the sixties and seventies holidays usually found my family at my dad's Uncle Andy and Aunt Agnes' house in Brooklyn, and one of the things I always remember is helping Uncle Andy get sodas from his store room... the 64 oz bottles of Lemon Lime or Ginger Ale from some beverage place, but that was for the guests at the table. He and I would grab a small bottle of Manhattan Special each. I finally found someplace that sells it in North Carolina. It takes me right back to Uncle Andy's storeroom in Brooklyn. www.tdevito.com

I just want to say how happy I am that they make this coffe soda in diet and now I just found out on the web site that it is made in diet decaf.

I believe that my grandfather was a close friend to yours. His name was Ciro. I grew up on Ainslie St in Brooklyn and for years enjoyed walking to Metropolitan Ave to the warehouse to get some Manhattan Special. It always brings back fond memories whenever I can get a bottle. Out here in California, it's a little difficult.

Your products take me back to my good ole New York Days! Love It!! Centerville Ma,

I lived in Brooklyn in the mid 80's, and discovered your espresso soda at the time. For me the perfect dessert after a long day's slog was an ice cream float made from Manhattan Special espresso soda and Schrafft's fudge ripple ice cream. As far as I knew, both products were only available in NYC.

Love your soda since I was a kid. Most of the old stores in the neighborhood are gone now and its hard to find. Wheneven I do find it I buy a case. Bronx, NY

GREAT WEBSITE! MANHATTAN SPECIAL COFFEE SODA IS THE BEST DRINK EVER MADE!!!

I'm an actor and singer. I have been in many films and TV shows. My late father Antonio introduced me to Manhattan Speacial when I was child in Newark, NJ. I travel all over the world to do films. I am sceduled to do a film with Giancaro Gianinni in Fornelli, Italy in 2006. When I was with Giancarlo recently in Italy, I mentioned that my father always had Manhattan Special in our home. We used to get the soda delivered right from Manhattan Special from Brooklyn to our home. My father ran a Sicilian Social Club in Newark, and they used to sell Manhattan Special at the club. It was their biggest seller. I recently had a chance to have a Manhattan Special (coffee soda as I knew it) in NMw York at a Director's home. It brought back many good memoroies of my favorite soda as a kid. I reall am looking forward to getting it in my preaent home town of Toms River, Nj, or nearby. The only difference now is that it MUST BE DECAF. Thank you for all the happy moments.

Enjoy your site, very helpful and chock full of good memories.

I have been missing your soda since I was a kid. My dad also went through Ellis Island when he arrived in America from Norway. I seen your drink on the Food Network Television Show and decided to look you up on the Internet. I didn't know you were still around. Thanks!!!

Help! Does anyone know where I can find the 32 oz bottles of diet Manhattan Special in Fairfield county, Ct?

I was surfing on the Internet and came across your site. It is really excellent

I've been enjoying Manhattan Special for over 30 years. Lately, Ive had some trouble finding it; so I filled out your, "Retail Locator" form. Can't wait to hear back from you! Thanks for a great product!

i love this site please keep on the good work. mugu 1 mugu 2 angola africa imoaba@yahoo.com

Your site contain many of useful information for me. Thanks

Wow, there wasn't a website before but now I'm thrilled that there is one. Great to finally see it in action. I was worried that Manhattan Specials were dying out because all my retailers stopp carrying them (except for pizzerias), but that's not the case now. Anyways, keep up the great work and hope Manhattan Special sticks around for a very long time!

I love this site.Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful place

Very good site, really useful Keep the nice work

Very Interesting site ,looks like an excellent event

heycool site - very good source of information thank you.

One of the hardest things to get incounry is good coffee and MS hits the spot. Here in Iraq where mail from home can sometimes take 10 - 14 days to arrive, the monthly treat of MS is a highlight of mailcall.

Much better than the company named S-------s. I drink these regularly... refreshing, and relaxing, better than plain soda!

Thanks for a great web site. I really enjoyed

Searched and Surfed your page great work

Searched and Surfed your page great work

I grew up in the area and also on Manhattan Special Coffee soda which we used to drink after a good punch ball game on Withers St inb the early 60s.We used to buy it at Bills Candy Store ,located on Humboldt St betwee Withers St amd Jackson St.I now live in Crystal River Fla and am fortunate enough to get it in Spring Hill at Leones Market Bob Stockdale Crystal River Fla

Dear Sirs: I just wanted to take the time to write and thank you very much for a really great product. I am also very happy to see that you did not get sucked into using cheaper ingredients in your product like so many food manufactors are using in there's. It's unfortunate that the general public does not relize how harmful Frutose Corn Syrup is. This stuff is not even made from corn. It is made from a type of wood pulp. This is not even food. But anyway I have been drinking your Manhattan Special since I was a kid growing up in Newark. Just about every Saturday I would go to the local Italian hot dog and sausage store. I would always get a double sausage with everything on it and a couple of Manhattan Special sodas. When I left Newark and moved to the shore area I was very pleased to find an Italian Deli who sold your product. Both my sons also love your soda. Please don't ever change you recipe, and thank you again for a great tradition.

Im 47 and grew up in Williamsburgh Brooklyn, home of the best coffee soda in the world. Instead of enfamil my Mother put Manhatten Special Coffee in my bottle and now? Pick-up 2 cases a month...cant live without it! Youre the best!!Accept no imitations

I have been drinking MS since the 1940's in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn NY. I now live in Florida and still enjoy a bottle when I can find the sugar free. There is no soda that taste as good as MS. Whenever I drive up to NY I always buy a case of the large no sugar bottles to bring south with me.

hi everyone, this site is great. i am writing from germany but i am italian. i like the italian amercan way of life and i like the americans too. it is a great nation! i look forward to come over in the states for visiting friends or for live there. if somebody would write me an email, here my adress: licata_pietro@yahoo.com ciao pietro

I'd grown up drinking your soda and when I moved away from New York I had a hard time finding it; especially in Atlanta. I've had better luck in Denver. I have to travel at least 10 miles to find a retailor but I think it is worth it.

I love MS. Having such a hard time finding it in Upstate, NY. There is nothing better than a tall glass of MS with Vanilla Ice Cream in it. I grew up in the Bronx, drinking it all the time. Maybe home delivery would be a good idea.

I have always enjoyed MS from way back in the day,born and raised in the City of Newark N.J.every store on every corner sold this.Not so easy to find now,I was buying it buy the quart at the butchers but there gone to.Even when I make it like my Nona did from pot to freezer it's just not the same,why not sell it for home delivery??? Thanks for still being here!!!!!

We live in Pasco County FL and found MS at 3 Italian Deli's locally. Had it today and WOW what a nostalgic memory this soda brought about. Cost was less than a dime and now $2.25 at deli but worth it just to be back in the Bronx and Manhattan if only thru a sip!!! Thanks for this website and guestbook.

I grow up right their on Manhattan Ave, two blocks from your factory. In fact, my Mom still lives there. I am in Virginia now and need a coffee soda real bad. When I go to visit Mom I try to buy several bottles to bring home. We use to got to Our Lady Of Mount Cameral Feast and their use to be a candy store on North 7th Street where my family would go and have a soda and enjoy the feast. My drink was always a MS. Need to known where I can get some. Thank you

As someone who grew up in East Harlem in the 40's and 50's I had an uncle that had a shanty @ 108 and 2nd Ave. and i remember as a child visiting him and having many Ms. As a resident of Hudson FL I'd like to know where in my area I can purchase Ms. robert

Just had my first MS and it was great. A friend at work buys them in his home town and brought one in for me. Now, so I don't have to bother him all the time, is there a retailer in the Time's Square area of NYC?

I GREW UP IN THE BRONX AND i PRESENTLY LIVE IN CALIFORNIA...I HAVE SUCH FOND MEMORIES OF MS WITH MY BIG ITALIAN FAMILY AS WE ATE MORTADELLA AND SOPRASATA HEROES AND MS WAS SUCH A DELICIOUS AND WONDERFUL MEMORY....FORGET STARBUCKS! I WANT MS IN MY AREA!NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA

I was born and raised in Brooklyn (Douglas andSmith St) and grew up on MS. The worlds bestdrink. I know have a cattle ranch in AZ and noone here knows what I'm talking about. I can'teven find it in CA. I just brought back 10bottles stuffed in my carry on luggage when Ireturned from a trip to NY. Fortunately airportsecurity didn't try to confiscate them, theremight have been trouble.

Just had my first bottle of espresso yesterdayat a restaurant and am going to change fromStarbucks frappuchio to you guys if I can find aretailer. Glad to have found you!!!!
