I have been drinking M.S. all my life and when I went to the deli to pick up a bottle it was diffrent. I feel that you should have left the old bottle with the "REAL" Skyline. Rick

Ive been drinking Manhattan Special my hole life. Iam 26 years old and i grew up in South Brooklyn. I first had Manhattan Special on tap at Fernandos on Union street thats a pinelle store. Needless to say i was hooked ever since. Now iam married and living out on Long Island. For some reason you dont see it out this way like you would in Brooklyn. Everyone asks me whats the one thing i miss about Brooklyn and i always say Manhattan Special..........

I ENJOY READING ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE FROM WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN AND HAVE ENJOYD THE SAME MEMORIES I HAVE GROWING UP ON GRAND ST. ACROSS FROM OLOFF'S SHOE STORE BETWEEN GRAHAM AND HUMBOLT. GETTING MANHATTAN SPECIAL AROUND THE CORNER AT SAL'S CANDY STORE ON MAUJER ST. FOR .05 CENTS. LIVING A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM MANHATTAN SPECIAL FACTORY. THE SMELL WAS WONDERFUL AND ALWAYS BOUGHT SOME. GOING TO THE MT. CARMEL FEAST AND SEE THE GUILIA STATUE DANCE, ALL THE MANHATTAN SPECIALS, ZEPPOLE, SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS.WAS SUCH A WONDERUL TIME. THE MEMORIES ARE EMBEDED IN ME FOR EVER AND EVER.I ALSO WHEN I GO BACK TO NY GET MY SUPPLY AND TAKE IT BACK HOME TO OCALA, FL. THERE IS ONE OR TWO STORES THAT SELL IT AT 2.99 A BOTTLE IS THERE ANY PLACE ELSE THAT SELLS IT FOR LESS. THANKS AGAIN FOR MAKING MANHATTAN SPECIALS AND THE MEMORIES THAT GO ALONG WITH IT.

As a kid I walked blocks with my dad to the deli a few times a week to get M.S. Sodas. Being near Westchester Sqare and the 6 train in the Bronx, there were dozens of places to get it. Now that I'm in San Diego,Ca., There's only one place to get it and that's in Little Italy. I bought a 24 bottle case for less than 33 Bucks. Happy Hunting Pisans.......Joey in San Diego..... P.S. I looked for 13 years and finally found it. I was a little disapointed to see that the label was changed!

I am 14 years old. I love Manhattan Special. Everytime I visited my Grandpa we would walk to the corner store on Powers Street and get a bottle each. I still love it...Although I moved to Upstate, NY...My dad works in rikers island and picks me up 2 cases. I still wish you never would of changed the label. Because thats what I remembered it by when I was younger. ROCK ON MS!

Len DiStefano wrote on August 9, 2004 at 11:51 pm:

Manhattan special is a great drink. I've been drinking it all my life. Ever since I was a kid and lived two blocks from the factory. The recipe has'nt changed much over the years, which is great, but the new label is not good. You should'nt have taken the twin towers out of the skyline. You should have left them in and surrounded them with a ribbon or something like that, after all you used to be able to see them from the neighborhood that created the drink. Best regards, L.D.

Mary P wrote on August 7, 2004 at 8:11 pm:

Hey! what's with the new label?? I want the old one with the Twin Towers back ! Every day that goes b,y they dissappear more and more things- this one broke my heart.

Eddie Acosta wrote on August 5, 2004 at 11:21 am:

I am 37 years old and grew up in Brooklyn. MS was second nature to me. I thought everybody drank MS. 12 years ago I left NYC and moved around the country and could not find it. To tell you the truth, after a little while, I didn't think about it anymore. Then I came back to NYC 2 years ago and rediscovered it in a Pizza joint on Court street in Bklyn. It was great to taste that special flavor again and it made me think of the childhood I had, Stick-ball, kick the can, Johnny on the pony and Manhattan Special. I left NYC again. I am in Washington DC. This time I'm looking for it! Peace.

Ava Addo wrote on August 4, 2004 at 2:53 pm:

I love this drink!!! I love it even more because I grew up right down the street from the original plant. In travelling all over the world I have never been more happy than to find it all over Europe and South America 🙂 it served as my reminder of home and definitely of Brooklyn!!!

Vera Karger wrote on August 3, 2004 at 5:52 pm:

Hard to find but worth the search, often worth the drive to where it's stocked. I know where I can find it about 20 miles away in either Danbury or Norwalk, CT. Maybe you'll be able to put me on to something closer to me. Great, refreshing, sugarless taste.

Carmine A. Nobile wrote on July 22, 2004 at 5:06 pm:

I was born and raised in the Bronx near Arthur Ave and 187st and until the time I went into the Navy I would drink a MS everyday after school or whenever I had the money to do so. I have lived in Virginia Beach since 1971 and two weeks ago I found a Italian resturant that carries it, the taste is the same as I remember it please don't ever change the process.

Clorinda Krisher wrote on July 22, 2004 at 3:46 pm:

I have loved your espresso soda for as long as I can remember. Now that I live in Pennsylvania, I still go back home to the Bronx to pick up a case when I run out! I even wrote to Food Finds on The Food Network about your soda. Keep making your excellent product. GOOD WORK!!!!

Just love it! Where can I find it in North Carolina now that I live here? My son is also looking for it in Madrid, Spain.

Barbara Rinaldi wrote on July 11, 2004 at 10:05 pm:

I was drinking MS sodas when I was a kid growing up on Long Island. I have occasionally had the luck to come across it in the stores (but not for several years now!) I was so happy to find the site on the internet. I have to get some to share with some people that can't imagine why I like it so much. Thank you Manhattan Special Bottling for being a part of my life!

Nancy Walls wrote on July 11, 2004 at 1:03 pm:

I've been drinking this soda all my life.....it's the BOMB!!!!

Jeff Guerrier wrote on July 4, 2004 at 10:54 am:

Several years ago, upon discovering Manhattan Special, I had one of those personal epiphanies of nostalgia and connectivity. The sweet rich coffee flavor washed away the crusty sediment of adult life and opened memory passages to my Italian-American up-bringing and family life. Although not easy to find these days, "Manhattan Coffee Soda" is worth the search. Grazie.

Truely one of the best drinks of all time. I am a fourth generation Manhattan Special Drinker and let me tell nothing has changed and its great! I hope that someday my kids could enjoy it as much as I have

Joseph C. McCormick wrote on June 24, 2004 at 4:16 pm:

I grew up in the Bronx, went to St. Helena's Business High School (now closed) and drank Manhattan Special all the time. We could buy it in Abe Leman's candy store or across the street in Lenore's candy store on Westchester Ave. and Leland Ave. Great place to grow up. I am also glad you have a website. I had written US Mail numerous times to locate a vender here in Saratoga County, NY but never recieved a response.

My husband, daughter and I love your espresso coffee soda. Have had it with and without fat free half and half, fantastic!!!!!! Thank you.

Pete Delfino wrote on June 2, 2004 at 11:18 am:

Reading the guest book brings back fond memories. I grew up in Carroll Gardens Brooklyn, better known as Red Hook, the only thing we drank and loved was Manhattan Special, frigid cold, and we had it with everything, lunch, snacks, dinner. No one I knew drank Coke...whattayacrazy!!! Coke this! No matter where I traveled in the US no one had a drink like MS, and I told everyone about it. I still find people to turn on to it. Most recently Chinese immigrants, they love it too! I now live in Queens and have found several outlets that sell it. I now work in Grand Central and there is a store in the food court that sells it. It makes my whole day to have one. MS FOREVER!

Tom Viola wrote on May 13, 2004 at 7:13 pm:

I am now 54 and I grew up on Metropolitan Ave in the Williamsburg/Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, just blocks from the Manhattan Special plant. I remember the small hand-painted bottles with the nearly black stained bottoms. Seems to me, the soda was different, better, then. But even today, there is no soft drink better. To the writer from Boca Raton looking for a local vendor... I get my Manhattan Specials from Bella Monte, on Atlantic Blvd., in Pompano Beach, and they have both the regular and the sugar free there. MS got me through many nights of cramming for exams in college and in grad school. Thanks.

I'm currently 19yrs. old and I have been drinking Manhattan Specials ever since I was a little kid. I grew up in the Bronx, so they have been around me all my life. I remember drinking them at the pizzeria every Sunday afternoon with my father. I constantly stock up the refridgerator at work with them. They are great, especially for a quick pick-me-up. My former manager got me started on putting a little drop of half and half in it every once in a while. It tastes best ICE COLD. I also make my own Manhattan Special shakes with vanilla ice-cream. I enjoy drinking Manhattan Special over regular coffee or espresso any day!

Joseph Pensante wrote on May 1, 2004 at 7:30 pm:

I come from down town Brooklyn, Kane & Henry street. My best lunch was a hero, and a large Manhattan Special. This was in the 1950's & 60's. I now live in Altermonte Springs Fl, and spend half my time looking for Manhattan Special. Sometimes my kids would find a store that sells Manhattan Special, and they would buy me a case as a gift. Thank you Manhattan Special for all the years of enjoyment. Joe Pensante

I started Drinking MS with my dad when I was 3 or so.....You can bet my mom was furious. He'd get me all hopped up on caffine and the go to work (Driving the bus in the Bronx). She would have to put up with me all day . HAHAHAHAHA It's too bad I can't get the Stuff in San Diego...my last attempt of having a friend send a case ended in a wet coffee stained box of busted glass on my front door....ThANKS A LOT UPS!!!!

Rob Weigand wrote on April 21, 2004 at 10:43 pm:

I enjoyed the cameo role afforded Manhattan Special in the episode of the Soprano's that originally aired on 4.18.04. Bobby Baccalieri is shown unpacking groceries for Junior out of a Manhattan Special box. It brought back memories of sitting on a stool in a soda fountain on Mulberry St. with my grandmother, sipping a Manhattan Special.

I'm 435 miles 🙁 from the nearest place I KNOW I can buy Manhattan Special, which sadly I didn't discover until about a year ago. What I wouldn't give to find a source closer than that...like Tallahasse or Pensacola, Florida...or Mobile AL. Well...if I hafta drive 435 miles, I'll do it :))))))) Love the stuff!!!!!

Merrick wrote on April 19, 2004 at 11:32 pm:

THE BEST Cream soda I have ever tasted is Manhattan Special Vanilla Cream. It is second to none, and that includes all of their other competitors in the cream soda market such as Dr. Brown's, Henry Weinhard, Jones, Stewart's, Thomas Kemper, etc., AND A&W. For combination of taste, sweetness and carbonation, it just can't be beat. Jones comes close, but is just too sweet. The other brands can be too heavily carbonated. And let's not even talk about A&W! The Manhattan Special folks got the smarts and got the product JUST RIGHT! Congratulations! (I have posted a positive review on BevNET, as well.)

Roger F. Sorrentino wrote on April 7, 2004 at 2:10 pm:

I've been drinking MS since 8 yrs old. I sometimes make MS Jello by adding an envelope of Knox's unflavored gelatin to a tablespoon of water, having it melt and then adding that to a small bottle of MS, then having it set in the fridge for a couple of hours, Delicious! Especially with a dollop of whipped cream on top. My friends love this.

Joe Sprowls wrote on March 2, 2004 at 1:46 pm:

I have been a drinker of Manhattan Special since I was a child. I grew up in the Bronx, and in an Italian neighborhood at Morris Avenue & 153rd Street. A picture of Robert DeNiro adorns my wall, and it is a snapshot from Godfather 2 where he's standing in front of the Italian grocery where he worked and a Manhattan Special sticker adorns the window. Now I live in New Port Richey, FL and recently have been able to find Manhattan Special, after 17 years, but I have to buy the "diet" by the case in the big bottles. Any idea where I can by small bottles of "Diet" in this region. There's a local Italian deli whose "sangwiches" are delicious, but with Manhattan Special they are to die for. The only way a good italian "sangwich" should be eaten.

Leslie Roosa wrote on February 28, 2004 at 8:08 pm:

Here's to Manhattan Special and Marilena my dear friend. When Marilena arrived for a visit from Italy, we toasted with Manhattan Special. What could be better? Grew up on the lower east side learing to love it at an early age. Now in the catskills its hard to get.

Leslie Roosa wrote on February 28, 2004 at 8:04 pm:

My dear Marilena!!!!!!!!! so happy I was included in those who introduced you to my favorite drink Manhattan Special.. Growing up on the lower east side of manhattan.. it was part of my life.. Now living in the catskills i need my friend Tony to bring it to me. I found a place to buy it (very inflated price) but still well worth it. Happiness is Manhattan Special and my dear friens, especially Marilene Lualdi!!!!!! Leslie

marilena lualdi wrote on February 26, 2004 at 5:21 pm:

Manhattan special has really a special taste for me. It's friendship taste, as well. I don't live in the Us, but in Italy. I first drank MS in 2002, when I came to New York: I was with my dear friends Leslie, Tony and Joann... I can't forget those great moments! I miss them, and I also miss MS. I hope I can soooooon come back to the Us, to my friends and I can drink MS again. A toast to this special drink, to my friends and to a country I love! G-d bless you! Marilena

Hello , I grew up living on Union Ave & Grand St and I was introduced to MS in Carlo's Billiard Emporium. My two favorite eating places were Crisci's & Bamontes.I now live in Delray Beach & am lucky to find all the MS I need at THE BOYS on Military Trail.I miss New York (but not the cold). Give my regards to all the old gang on Manhattan Avenue. Howie Kaplan

I had my first Manhattan Special in 1975, and I have been hooked ever since!I grew up in NJ, but have been in South Florida for nine years.I found an Italian Deli near my home, and I buy a six- pack of MS every chance I get. It tastes great,and reminds me of home. Thank You so much for not only making it available in South Florida, but also not messing around with the taste!

saying you grew up in bensonhurst brooklyn is like having a badge of honor.nothing beats an ice cold special on a hot summerday,or a special with a pretzel.kids today dont know what it was like to grow up hanging out in a candy store.we would freak if they ran out of special.im up in the poconos now and if someones coming for a visit the rules are,no special and bagels dont bother showing up.

Hi, Someone emailed me from this board and asked where I bought MS on the west coast. I found it. It is www.sodapopstop.com They are in L.A. and I used to buy cases and have them shipped to S.F. Bay area. I am back in NY now and have MS all the time again. Nice! Anyway, MS is on the west coast and not too expensive either.

Ted Montesano wrote on December 20, 2003 at 5:29 pm:

Hi All: I guess we all have the same thoughts: we all LOVE the taste of Manhattan Special, and MISS IT because we moved; ALSO, lots of us thought it was no longer made. Not true! I live in San Diego, and recently visited my old town, Bensonhurst. While there, I saw Manhattan Special in the stores. Naturally, I bought it. . . many bottles. . . and took them on the plane back home. Now that their gone, I want to purchase more, but I can't find it in San Diego. Do you think you could let me know where I must go to buy it? Anywhere near San Diego will do. Thanks for the "Delicious" drinks you make.

I grew up om Monitor Street in Greenpoint, and remember Saturdays walking over to Manhattan Special, watching the bottles pass through on the conveyor belt (when they opened the door to the little bottling plant), the soda still tastes the same.

Born in Brooklyn U.S.A and live in Staten Island, N.Y., now I take my family to L&B spumoni on 86th street for a square pie and a case of manhattan specials. I feel bad for people who cant find this soda cause its all over the city. I have 2 a day at least. Manhattan special and a pizza pie- fuggetabout it !!!

Grew up on Avenue U in Brooklyn, drinking MS almost every day. I craved it while in the service for six years. Now that I'm back, my favorite drink is always close by.
