I love your guest book ad oh it does bring back
such sensational memories. I love Manhattan
Special and try to get every chance I can. Not
only do I love the taste but all those happy
memories. I remember the corner of Henry and
Kane Streets. Hi Freddie and how is Joey?
Originally from Brooklyn (Park Slope area), now
living in Florida... I went to a new pizzeria
and found MS... It brought so many wonderful
memories back to me that it brought tears to my
eyes...I can't tell you what MS means to me...
not only the taste of the drink, but the good
times I shared with my family drinking one... on
hot days, my mother would freeze them in ice
cube trays and we would eat it frozen, like
italian ices... Introducing it to my English
husband for the first time... giving a 'sip' to
my son... most of all, my dad buying me one
everytime I went with him to 'The Club' ... it
was either Crodino or MS... but MS was a bigger
bottle and definitely tastier...!!! I hope to
find a location close to me where I can buy it
at a better price than the $3 a bottle they
charge in this pizzeria... I buy it anyway as a
treat, but would love to get it by the case!!!
I love you guys!!!!
Its Like this; I grew up in Brooklyn NY. and
there was always a bottle of Manhattan Special on
the table, we lived right down the street from
the plant. But After leaving NY our famiy moved
around, My dad was in Navy and I had not seen
Mahatten Special again till today. For years I
had been craving it after all this time, a Good
friend who was In the old naborhod this past week
to my delight just showed up today with a bottel
of that dark sweet stuff; and man it was good!
you see my problem is that I am living In Sticks
some people call it Indianapolis IN. or as my mom
would say were god lost his shoes, So can you
help me! I would love to here Back from you on a
Wholseller in my area, I own a Little Italian
Restaunt and would love to sell it on the menu.
If there is no Wholseller can you please sell me
the product direct. either way I must have my
more of that good old Manhattan Special again!
and I am sure we could create a new market with
my customers.
Thank's agian for makin it soooo Good!

Just got back from Hoboken NJ where I grew up.
Went to Fiore's on Adams Street had a ham and
muz sand with a bottle of coffee soda.
It doesn't get any better.
What wonderful memories come to people like me who
loved your soda all their lives!
It makes me smile to hear everyone's stories.
I was born in Besonhurst Brooklyn, 8002 21st
Avenue (I know it rhymes!). Since I was a kid, my
tastes for what to snack on changed, but what to
wash it down with was never in question when I saw
the familiar little bottles lining the cooler.
Even the sound of the bottles clinking together as
you grab one from a group is familiar.
I was a bit sad when I saw the labels change after
all these years...maybe every year on your
anniversary, you could bring back labels from the
past, after all these years, I bet there's labels
I've never seen.
Thanks for the memories!
I purchased a case last month for a Birthday
Gift. They still cant stop talking how much,
they love Manahattan Special Soda The perfect
Gift your Manhattan Coffee-loving it. Its the
best around!.
grew up right in the neighborhood where you guys
make manhattan special and recently moved to florida
my hsband and daughter were overjoyed to find
small bottles of the coffee soda can't wait to
find out where the larger bottles are sold.
Even though I am still young, I grew up on
Lorimer St. between Metropolitan and Conselyea.
Me and my cousins always took a walk down to San
Marcos pizza for an ice cold bottle of Manhattan
Special. Having drank it all my life, i love it.
The closest place i can buy it out on Long Island
near me is a deli so at least i can still have
some when im not back in brooklyn!
Im a new yorka all my life and let me just say
that Manhattan special is bar non my favorite
soda. i have a fridge full at all times and often
buy ot the supermarkets stock. the best. the only.
the original if you are an espresso lover thins
drink is for you. if you are not a coffee drinker
at all chances are you'll still love it. try
adding some milk to and you get a coffee egg
cream. how awesome. THE BEST. Thanks you guys for
making this drink for so many years and many more
to come.
I have your Expresso Coffee Diet, once a week,
two bottles at a place on Queesn Blvd. and 67.
Anything closer. Do you ship to Puerto Rico?
Manhattan Special (aka in my family as Coffee
Soda) has been my favorite since 1956 (when I was
allowed to drink soda).
It's a tradition and a way of life if you were
born in Brooklyn (especially Greenpoint) to drink
Manhattan Special.
Great coffee, had some on a NYC visit
Not sure of the mix to serve (Milk, Ice Cream /
Reg Cream................
I grew up on Skillman Ave between Union &
Lorimer. I could see the Manhattan Special plant
from our windows on the third floor. We all grew
up drinking "coffee soda", as we called it.
There is no other flavor like it. I didn't even
know this website existed until one of the "kids"
I went to OLMC with sent it to me! It makes me
glad to know that as things change all around us,
one thing is constant: the inimitable "coffee
soda" taste!!!
Don't ever change it!
I was in New York filming a movie and visiting a friend in
Brooklyn Heights. We stopped at the local corner store and I
picked up a bottle of your original flavor Manhatten Special
Espresso Soda just for fun and went nuts over it. Its so YUMMY!!
Needless to say I bought a few bottles to take home as
souviners but I drank them all before I got on the plane. My
mom was pissed cuz shes from Long Island and wanted one.
Where can I get it some Los Angeles? Help me, Shes still mad at
me.
I live in Miami, Flrida, married to a wondrful
Cuban lady for 22 years. She tasted your
Expresso soda an hour ago while visiting a
patient in a locpital and went wild about the
authentic expresso flavor.
We want it for our home NOW!!!!!!!
hey
i'm sitting here listing to 101 fm again and
drinking manhattan special and eating
herosandwich of eggplant (caoonata ) how sweet
life again be :}
I grew up in Brooklyn NY in the '50s and there
was a Manhattan Special Bottling Plant right down
the street on Skillman Ave. As a kid I loved the
original Manhattan Special soda. After leaving
NY I never saw it again. I've been craving it
all these years, and I am very excited to find
the company still thriving. I am waiting to hear
back from you on a retailer in my area, or you
will have to sell me some direct. either way I
must have good old Manhattan Special again!

There is nothing better then a Manhattan Special
Greetings from Iceland! Just had your
sarsaparilla (ordered through the internet) and
it was good! Keep up the good work.
Dear M.S. - LOVE your drinks! My experience
with your products began 6 years ago, while
dating a nice fella named Tony. I made sure
that in my conversations with him I managed to
find out about all the things he really liked
(so I could get them for him). One was his love
for Manhattan Special. I checked out all the
stores in my then neighborhood Bay Ridge, Bklyn,
until I found your delicious coffee sodas. I
stocked my refrigerator with them, so that
whenever he visited me I could always offer him
one. We were married a year later.
Coincidence?? I THINK NOT! 🙂 Now we serve it
at all out family parties and there's a whole
new generation of M.S. fans. My inlaws want to
know if you are going to start shipping it out
to Indianna. Thanks for everything. Maryanne
Tried your coffee products this weekend while on
vacation in Lake George. Your drink was givin to
us by a freind and we really enjoyed them, I look
forword to tring all your other flavors.
I think coffee is my favorite food period.
Espresso is so wonderful!!! Recently watching a
show on the history channel they featured your
soda company and your espresso soda, mentioning
you even have it in diet.
At last I thought - the perfect soda, and I can
still be on my diet. Now if only you can find
some place in Aurora Colorado that sells your
soda. If not - will you sell and ship to me?
We love Manhattan Special and bring some
everywhere we go and now our friend love it too.
We tried adding some milk to it and it's
absolutely delicious!!!!
It is exactly the sweet refreshing kick I need in the evening when I
get home from work...and I swear it makes me write better.
I discovered this wonderful drink quite by
accident about 2 months ago. While at a new
Italian Deli that had just opened in our area, I
looked in the cooler and there was this
interesting looking bottle of expresso soda.
Since I enjoyed the Coke Blak I thought I'd give
this a try. What a find! I've gone back
several times to get more and now my husband is
hooked on it. He's trying to find a place where
he can buy it by the truck load.
I was born in Oakfield NY in 1928, I move to
Brooklyn in 1935, i 've been drinling Manhatan
special for a lot of years, and enjoyed every bit
of it . i still look for it , and still enjoy it.
what a wonderful drink it is, even in the winter
time . my parents come from Bivona Sicily and
they also loved that wonderful thirst quenching
drink... it's a great rememberance too. keep em
comming.. Joe Perconti
Well, i've been drinking Manhattan Special for 25
years now and still crave it. I remember the days
of my grandmother taking me to the I.L.A on court
st in brooklyn then right after going to
Ferdinand's pannele store on union st and getting
my pannele special,rice ball,and Manhattan
special. That combination is to die for and on a
hot night it's so refreshing.I used to own a
restaraunt and i sold it quite well. People were
very curious as to what it was and once they tried
it they were hooked even my wife. We just moved to
south florida and i found it in Dorece's Italian
Markets,I couldn't believe my eyes.
I am a Jersey Guy who has been drinking your
sarsaparilla since the early 50's.I lost track of
it for a few years and finally found it at my
shoprite super market here in North Jersey! I
love it!!
I can't believe it! A site for my all time
favorite..."MANHATTAN SPECIAL"
I just came across it,looking for something
else.I will return later to post my real
feelings.Fantastic!
raygalazzo@verizon.net
I WAS RAISED IN PARK SLOP BROOKLYN,THEN MOVED TO
BENSONHURST 18TH AVE, WHILE THE KIDS WERE PLAYING
OUTSIDE WE WOULD SIT ON THE STOOP AND EAT BBQ
CHIPS AND DRINK MANHATTAN SPECIAL ,THOSE WERE THE
DAY'S ...THANK'S FOR THE GREAT DRINK....

Manhattan Special was always a huge treat in our
home. Now I'm so excited to find the diet-decaf
version. You have remained true to the original
taste all these years and you did not sacrifice
quality when you introduced the diet-decaf
product. Thanks for the memories.
The best of the best....Please don't ever change a thing!!!
Molte Grazie....Makes my taste buds dance.
I grew up in bensonhurst brooklyn and always had
manhattan specials. I moved away 16 years ago and
just came back for a visit and I am in love
again! I wanna carry this stuff in my restaurant
in Miami. You even have diet decaf, im in
heaven!!!
Being in all Italian (well, at that time it was)
Bensonhurst, we all enjoyed these drinks! Glad to
see you are still around!!!!
Raised in Alabama, I never heard of a Manhattan
Special until I saw it in the cooler behind the
register at my friend Jerry's Italian
restaurant. Next time we ate there, they only
had one left. I got it. The next time we ate
there they had 20 of 'em. I took home 15
of 'em. What can I say, they're better than beer
on a hot day like today in Alabama.
I was raised in north Jersey and started drinking
Manhattan Special when I was at Rutgers in the
late 1960's. Far beyond any other soft drink,
Manhattan Special is in a class by itself. God
Bless you and your wonderful beverage. Here's
wishing you another 112 years. Thank you!
I grew up in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn,
having been raised by a loud, loving and
supportive Italian family. I passed the Manhattan
Special plant each day on my way to school..PS
132. My cousins lived in the area of Skillman
Avenue and Manhattan Avenue so this plant was a
landmark for us. I ALWAYS loved the soda and
cannot find it here in northern California where I
now live.
When visiting Brooklyn, I always stock up and have
introduced my daughters to this great drink. I
love visiting the old neighborhood. It brings
back my most pleasant and joyful memories. I feel
fortunate to have come from such a diversified and
exciting area of Brooklyn. I am happy to say that
my childhood friends and I stay in touch to this
day and visit whenever I come into the city.
Manhattan Special is a fantastic coffee drink.
Way better than starbucks!!!
I was born in Brooklyn 1943 and raised in Red
Hook until I got married in 1964. Went to P.S.
29 and then to Manuel Training H.S. until it
changed it's name in 1961 to John Jay H.S.
I always remember drinking Manhattan Special
Soda on the corner of Kane and Henry Street.
I now live in Florida. Retired here with my
family.
I love your coffee soda and have been drinking
it for over 50 years.
My Uncle Jimmy had a grocery store on Elizabeth
Street in Little Italy. I was practically weened
on this stuff and genoa salami/yellow american
cheese sandwiches. At age 52... MS makes me feel
10 again!
Wow! Found MS for the first time during vacation
in a little deli (La Duca's) in Boulder City, Az.
Thought I was reaching for a root beer and ever
so glad I didn't really look. After the first
sip, I went back to get some to take home. Now I
want to find it locally - hoping I can get it
south of the Mason-Dixon!!! Outta this world!
I am absolutely, positively lost without my
Manhattan Special. It's the best drink on the
planet, IMHO. I need two or three every evening
with my roll-ups... in front of the computer
screen... web-surfing. Every other week I buy it
by the case from Jerry's Gourmet in Englewood, but
unfortunately, they seem to be running out of
their supply sooner of late; this time I've been
waiting two entire weeks for my MS fix! I wish I
could order it directly from the manufacturer...
something to look into.
My Grandfather gave me my first taste ("Just
a SIP Little Jimmy!") of this unique New
York beverage when I was about 6 years old. Now
just one sip is more than enough to bring back
the joy and love that sparkled effervescently
within my Grandfather's eyes.

manhattan special soda is the best soda you can
get it's great any time of the year!!!
I love Manhatten special! Been drinking it for years!

I also grew up on 187th Street and Arthur Ave! It
was the 50's and 60's. I remember Manhattan
Specials being a special treat, even though my
parents and grandparents would buy it for us at
the drop of a hat, not as a reward or anything.
It's hard to believe 5 year old kids drinking the
equivelant of 10 espresso coffees in one shot,
but what else could have fueled our all day long
stickball and stoopball sessions. Ringolevio,
Johnny on the Pony. We were always out.
I moved to Ft. Lauderdale in 1989 and for 14
years the urge for a coffee soda never left.
Imagine my joy, and horror, to find out there was
a store less than a mile from my home that sold
Manhattan Specials that whole time! My brother
and I would clean out their stock every week, 3
large bottles every day for months. Yes, I
noticed the heart palpitations from so much
caffiene!
I've since left Florida and am once again in
Manhattan Special withdrawal. I've got a friend
from Louisiana who's dying to try one just from
what I've told him about them. Hopefully I'll
find a local distributor soon here in Dixie.
I grew up in East New York Brooklyn in the '50's.
MS has always been a favorite of mine. I remember
an old gent we called Mr. Leo who would always
scold us for drinking the soad out of the bottle
straight from the cooler. He was a germ nut I
guess. All I know is that it tasted better when I
had the whole bottle in my mouth. I live in
Merrit Island, Florida now and have a hard tme
finding it along with Red Pack Tomatos and pine
nut cookies. When someone comes to visit from NY
and says "what can I bring you?", guess what is
on my list?
I grew up in the Bronx on 187th Street & Aurthur
Avenue. I recall fond memories of Egg
Creams,Zeppollis at the feast,Sausage-Provolone-
Mozzerella-Bread,and of course Manhattan
Special. Manhattan Special is one of those
things that just reminds me of the Neighborhood.
Its been many years since I have had Manhattan
Special. Now that I found your web sight I will
make it a point to get some down to Texas. You
have a piece of New York history that is a part
of your product. Its great to see its still
around.
Espresso like no other....
Add Cappuccino flavored soy milk and you get a
taste equal to the best Bronx,NY authentic
chocolate egg-cream.---
You know the one with the U-Bet Chocolate syrup.
Discovered your delicious Manhattan Special drink
in a small deli in Newburgh N.Y. However, I am
from Buffalo, N.Y., and would love to continue
enjoying your wonderful drink! Many of my friends
and neighbors are also very interested in
purchasing your product. So it would be
wonderful to find out how we may obtain your
beverages in our area. Thank you so much for any
help you can give us in this matter. Lynn
Hartnett
I grew up in NJ, but we visited Grandma in
Brooklyn every Sunday. She always had Manhattan
Special ready and waiting for me when I go there,
and when I would finish a bottle, she would
always give me money to go to th ecorner store to
get more.
I'm 34 now, and I still look forward to drinking
Manhattan Special. Its so difficult to find up
by where I live now, but every time I find it, I
always buy as much as I can carry back. Thanks
for such a great product!
VFalcone0526@aol.com
I grew up having Manhattan Special with my family
in NYC. Just looking at the bottle brings back so
many great memories. Thanks for the great long
lasting tradition...don't ever stop!
E evidente che il luogo e stato fatto dalla persona che realmente conosce il mestiere!
MY GRANDFATHER WHO WAS BORN IN ITALY AND HAD A
GROCERY STORE ON SKILLMAN ST./WILLOUGHBY AVE IN
BROOKLYN. HE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO TURN ME ON TO
MANHATTAN SPECIAL AND I'VE BEEN DRINKING IT
SINCE WHENEVER AND WHEREVER I FIND IT. I AM 58
YEARS OLD NOW. I COULD NEVER GET USE TO THE
LARGE BOTTLE THOUGH...TASTES SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT?
I FIGURED IT HAD TO DO WITH THE MEMORIES
ASSOCIATED TO THE "ORIGINAL". TO ME IT IS THE
BEST EXPRESSO SODA EVER,A REMINDER OF FAMILY AND
CLOSE FRIENDS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY MY
YOUTH...LOVE IT!!!
Hi Folks,
I was born in 1958 in Newark New Jersey, and it
seem like 1,000 years ago. My full Italian blood
and heritage seem to be slipping more and more
away. That is why I cling to as much of my past
as I can, particularly if it tastes as good as
Manhattan Special. The Manhattan Special flavor
and idea are kept alive by people like me who
want to share something from a great era, a great
culture, and a great place to live. God Bless you
at Manhattan Special, and thanks for the great-
tasting memories!
Whenever I go home to visit( I have family on the
island and The Bronx). The first thing I do is
grab a hot dog, slice of pizza and a Manhattan
Special. My family has migrated to Texas in the
past few years and my parents visit New York
often. They take their RV and on the way home
they take orders from family and friends, you
know things they can't get in Texas. Manhattan
Special Espresso Coffee Soda tops the list. I'm
drinking my last bottle as I type. Mom and Dad
won't be heading home until June...it's March
1st...I'm gonna drink this one real slow.
2 days ago I tried Coca Cola Blak, I try to find it every supermarket
and i couldn't find it. Then I discover Manhattan Special, I think the
taste of espresso is stronger than Coca Cola. I like it very much! It
is a delieght to find other brands to try out!
Hey guys, I wrote an ode to you, full of love
and esteem. You're clearly the best soda out
there, I love you dudes, later.

anyone know where I can get manhattan special in
the atlanta area?
Manhattan Special has been my drink from my early
years on Jackson st.and Anselie st.My teenage
years on Stagg st.,and now my senior years on
Long Island.The best drink around,none better.So
glad I found this site.Brings back lots of
memories of Brooklyn,Mt.Carmel Feast,McCaran
Park,the Northside,Greenpoint the Settelment
house ,St,Marys church on Leonard st.Bring back
the good old days.
OH GO! manhattan special is the best.reminds so
much of my child hood.everytime i go see my
parents in brooklyn the first thing i do i stop
in at the deli and get a "special" and a fresh
mozzerella and prosciutto sandwich with roasted
peppers.it suck that i have to travel to brooklyn
to get a case but its well worth the trip.
I GREW UP IN EAST HARLEM WENT TO OUR LADY OF
MOUNT CARMEL CLASS OF 72 I WAS RAISED ON
MAHATTAN SPECIAL AND STILL DRINK IT TO THIS DAY
Just another memory...in the 70's, I couldn't
start the day at St. Francis Prep without first
having 2 bottles of Special at the hero shop on
North 7th and Driggs Avenue. . .
You haven't really enjoyed a Special until you
taste it "ON TAP" at Ferdinando's on Union
Street, in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. Madon,it
The best!! One of my fonder memories of summers
when I was a child was drinking an ICE COLD
SPECIAL while eating a sausage and pepper
sandwich and a bag of zeppole at the "Mt. Carmel
Feast"!! We didn't have to travel far for great
memories! My family (from over 100 years ago!!)
comes from Leonard and Withers Streets, just a
few short blocks from the Manhattan Special
factory. Everyone in my family has been drinking
this GREAT drink (known simply as a "Special" in
our house, as in "Philly, get the Special"
or "Wanna Special?") since we were old enough to
hold a glass. I now live on Long Island and while
I can find my Special in stores (2 1/2 cases a
week goes in my house) I can not find the other
flavors. I guess I could stop on Meeker Ave at
the beer distributor (Is BERLIN still there?) to
find it, but Special has to be made more
accessible in other places. While I want to
keep "Special" to ourselves, like all great
things, it must be shared with the world. JUST
DON'T CHANGE THE RECIPE.
Visited New York City Christmas time and first
thing was dripping hot pizza and ice cold MS.
Needless to say, we picked up a couple of cases
and carefully got them back to our home in
Florida. Raised in the Bronx, NY as a child
(maiden name Bugera from Burke Avenue)and then
Long Island until 93' when we relocated to
Florida, then MS was so much taken for granted.
Now if I do get my hands on some, I HIDE IT! You
know, some things just never change. Thank
goodness for that! I love who I am and where I
come from. They say you can take the girl out of
the Bronx but you can't take the Bronx out of a
girl. At 50 I can say AIN'T THAT the TRUTH!
Email me if your'e from my neck of the woods
somewhere in DA BRONX! ccellucci@cfl.rr.com
I love your espresso coffee soda!!!!! I just
recently discovered it while visiting my mom who
lives 2 hours away, I hope to find a retailer
closer to me so I can have Manhattan Special alot
more often. I can't help but think, did your soda
inspire Coca Cola's Blak? (Not that it comes any
where close.) I can't wait to try your new
flavors, please keep up production 'cause you've
got alot of thirsty Manhattan Special lovers out
there.... 🙂
I moved to Seattle about 13 yrs ago I opened up an espresso stand
I carry egg creams with u-bet syrup I order online and I am always
talking about Manhattan special and how it's the original people
here think they know coffee LOL. Well I have to say Starbucks has
nothing on manhattan special and I will be getting some in to show
people what the original is like. I even have to make my own
cannoli and rainbow cookies because you can't get them here.
Everytime I go home to Brooklyn to visit I gain 10 lbs. I love NY
I was first tried a Manhattan Special in 1981. I
was told to try it by my wife whom was from
Williamsburg section of Brooklyn.
I at first did not want to try it as I was told
it was " coffee soda " and being such a picky
person, I said how could anything taste good that
was a coffee soda ?
Well here it is, 2007 almost, and I am still
drinking it and now my oldest daughter Melissa,
18 is addicted to it. Nothing at all can come
close to it !
Just discovered your soda a few weeks ago and im
addicted! the problem is that the only place i can
find it is 1/2 hour drive away!!! [totally worth
it whenever i have the craving!] Kudos for a
phenomenal soda!!!
I drink 5 manhattan specials a day... at night I
make sure I have at least one in the house for
morning - I hide them - LOL - because if I don't
everyone else in the house drinks them... When
we go away on vacation I pack one for each day.
I am a flight attendant and when passengers see
me drinking it - they are like "do you serve
that? Can I have one?" and then proceed to tell
me their family memories of the drink.
While we were making our Christmas Eve plans (I
am having everyone over) and determining who was
making the fish salad and such, I found myself
laughing when we got into the who is bringing
the Manhattan Special... big bottles or cases of
small... conversation...lol. It wouldn't be
a 'celebration' without Manhattan Special!!! My
only wish... please make the small bottles
easier to open - I have a never healing wound on
my middle finger from struggling with the
caps 🙂 Oh - and wouldn't it be great if you
distributed to JFK - I have a contact for you if
you are interested ") Happy Holidays!!!!!
One day i was visiting a friend when i came to
her back door i saw her standing there with her
head titled back as if staring into space but she
was facing a kitchen cabinet shaking her head
back and forth, she did this for about 5 minutes
and then i walked in and there she was drinking
your soda. i thought it was the funniest thing
ever, she stated it took her back to when she was
a teenager and that thatwas the reason why she
was lost in space. I dont know what you put in
your soda but thank you for taking my friend back
to her teenage years..
i tried your product about 5 years ago and loved
it!! Im deffinatly looking a place to get it now
that i live in New England area.

Manhattan Special is the best! There should be a
Manhattan Special store on every corner, not
Starbucks.
I tried Manhattan Special about three years ago
and have been drinking it since. I Love It!
We have been drinking Manhattan Special for 47
years. My Grandfather would bring it from
Brooklyn to Connecticut as a treat. It's been a
family favorite, especially at Christmas. I just
bought 3 cases (purchased in Manchester,VT of all
places) and gave two to my Mom (she was
thrilled. Now my son (fourth generation to enjoy
it!) is hooked. I am sure Manhattan Special will
be in our family for years to come. Thanks
grew up drinking it and it tastes like home.
Consistent small joy.
Had my first bottle of MS over the Thanksgiving
holidays while visiting family on the North Fork.
WOW!! What a taste, what a pleasure. My biggest
fear now is finding it again due to an impending
move back to the midwest. Why do these things
happen to me?
Great product, always in my house - my in laws
from East Harlem introduced me to it 10 years
ago. Cable Beverage in Rockland County NY always
has cases, if I don't buy them all.
the one and only coffee soda.A true Italian-
American classic.Pass the prosciutto sandwich.
To One and All,
Just want to say Happy Thanksgiving from my
family to yours, and yes there will be plenty of
Manhattan Special on our table of about25 to 30
people telling stories when they first drink the
soda etc etc,
again Happy Thanksgiving :}
I had my 1st M/S at Pizza Time in Coral Springs,
Fl (a Brooklyn restaurant) excellent food and
now a forever fan of M/S. I can't wait to find
out where I can buy it.
Nothing like it..... Throw a scoop of vanilla ice
cream on in there. jciserano@hotmail.com
I found MS in a Shoprite in Orange County, NY.
Can't say which one, because everyone month I
buy virtually their entire MS stock, and
frankly, I want it all for myself!
I was upstate New York, New Paltz,my son works
for a produce company called Robbins...I was so
surprized they had Manhattan Special!!! If
anyone is on the sight from upstate try Robbins

FOUND MANHATTAN SPECIAL IN WPB FL. FEELS LIKE I
AM BACK IN BROOKLYN
Sophie Sweeny and any other Connecticut natives:
you can find Manhattan Special at Verrano's Deli
in Bethel (next to Danbury). Stop for some food
and a movie at the Bethel Cinema.
i just found this stuff. manhattan special is
just that. i now require it by the case.
Hey all: plz do support MS. They sponsored the
Diabetes walk this weekend in NY. After their 20
mile walk the partcipants were able to be
refreshed by the great taste of Manhattan Special
sodas...FOR FREE!!!!!!!! A volunteer at the walk,
it was my first time trying their NATURAL SODAS
and i love it! I can't wait until I find a
retailer by by home so I can have it all the
time. And I may only be 16 but I know their
drinks will follow me throughout life!!!
If there were any logic in the world of
consumerism, Manhattan Special would be a
household name and best selling beverage. I used
to work in Eastern District HS on Grand Street and
walked back home to Greenpoint by way of Manhattan
Avenue. My daily pilgrimmage. A factory tour
would be special, Manhattan Special.
Many more years for your great products and best
wishes for commercial success.

My grandmother came from Italy and she help rise
us kids and she always use Manhattan Special with
milk in our bottles, I guess it must of been good
because i still remember that.
Did she know about the caffine in the MS soda ,
i guess not because i useto do it to for my other
brothers and sisters and we all liked the soda
until today M m m m m
Life was so simple back in the 50 & 60's
Happy to say that we have been able to get a
Manhattan Special in several places in New Port
Richey - and we still love it.
Manhattan Special i use to drink it years ago
it was great
My brother mentioned this sight and i'm happy to
sign in as a guest.
My experience with Manhattan Special goes back
to the 40's,until today I enjoy a cold bottle,it
has to be cold!! Keep up the good work and
please put it in other areas,it's very hard to
find outside of The five bouroughs of NY.
My friends who are originally from the Bronx
treated me to a bottle of this fabulous stuff.
Now I'm hunting all over Connecticut to get my
hands on some myself. Delicioso !!
