    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.

    A perfect expression of the motto of this fine blog: "Not as good as it was..."

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

    Leslie Buck, the designer of this cup, passed away this past April.
    From the New York Times:
