Hot Apple Cider near Central Park?
So this weekend I'm going to Central Park because I love it, but haven't been there ever since college started. I've also been craving some hot apple cider, so I thought "Why not put the two things together?!". Hot apple cider on what I'm expecting to be a cold autumn day in central park? I think that's pretty cute :)
Only problem is, I don't know where they sell Hot Apple Cider. I know Starbucks has that Caramel Apple Spice, but I get sick of that drink after several sips :\
Any of you SE peeps know where I can get some of this liquid goodness? Thanks!

Cafe Lalo has it. 85th between Bway and Columbus, I think.

Starbucks' apple cider is steamed apple juice with caramel syrup, whipped cream, and caramel sauce on top. I bet you could ask them to leave off the whipped cream and caramel sauce.
If you go on Sunday, I would consider exiting towards the 80s on the UWS so you could go to the 77th Street Greenmarket which should be selling apple cider.

Le Pain Quotidien (sp?) has hot cider. There's one on West 64th btw CPW and Columbus.
And yeah, the Greenmarkets would have cider too! There's another one on Saturdays at the little triangle park by Lincoln Center - a short jaunt from the lower west side of the park.

If you want that spiced-cider taste from Starbucks without all the gloopy stuff, ask for steamed cider with a pump or two of chai syrup in it. The chai has all the good spices and a little bit of black tea bitterness, which cuts the sweetness of the apple juice nicely.

Tucker Square Greenmarket has hot apple cider from Locust Grove on Thursdays and Saturdays and it's only a few blocks from the park at 66th and Broadway.

Oh man, thanks so much you guys :)
Due to lack of judgement and eating 7 white castle burgers the night before, I wasn't feeling well enough to go to the City. However, I'm going tomorrow, and hopefully the weather will be okay enough ...
THANK YOU!!!!
