A NY institution, almost gone. Does Viand still use this cup? I used to have a t-shirt with this design on it. And it's always been my pleasure to serve.

My pleasure too!
I like the mod version from MOMA.
Humm,
Service in general is something to be desired these days. I am glad this cup still serves.

The gentleman who designed this cup passed away a year or so ago.
