The Simonds of today, however, is not quite what it was before. Not because the coffee has changed or the place has moved or the cappuccino master has moved on. Rather, the younger clientele -- whose New York City counterparts have embraced cappuccinos, frappuccinos, iced lattes, tall lattes, and espressos like they were the hippest drinks to ever grace the planet -- just aren't ready to give the coffee bean the kind of place the shisha (water pipe) is afforded in globalising, modern-day Cairo cafés today.
