16. Get Your Coffee Fix at Joe Coffee & Climb to the Northwest Corner Building’s Roof

Known for being extremely crowded and somewhat pricey, Joe Coffee also is known for selling excellent caffeinated beverages. So climb up the Northwest Corner building and sip some of the best joe in New York City. Joe’s signature blue cups are often seen in the hands of students and professors.

Joe is located on the second floor of the Northwest Corner building, the towering skyscraper on the—you guessed it—northwest corner of the campus, and the South East corner of the 121st street intersection. If you can get someone with swipe access to the upper levels to let you in, the top floors boast amazing views of the city.
