Every New Yorker recognizes the blue, white and gold Anthora coffee cup, but few know its beautiful origin story. Created in 1963 to serve NYC's thriving Greek immigrant community, these cups became so iconic that MoMA even made a ceramic version. From 500 million sold annually to near-extinction to comeback. It's a quintessentially NYC story.
