Coffee Break - hit every Manhattan Starbucks in 24 hours?
I've done some crazy stunts in my life but Mark Malkoff takes the biscotti. When he found out there were 171 Starbucks locations in Manhattan, he decided to find out if he could hit every one of them in 24 hours. He figured he had to make a purchase at each and consume at least some of the bought product for his visit to count. Not all of the locations are open 24 hours, so there were logistics issues to deal with as well.
Did he make it? What would he spend if he hit them all up? Worst of all: how would he physically feel if he met his goal? I can't play the spoiler: you'll have to spend 10 minutes to watch his video to see the effort and results. Me, I'm off to my Quakertown Starbucks....and ONLY my Quakertown Starbucks. ;) Thanks for the tip, Joel!
No Joke; any more caffeine and he would be dead:

To be fair, he had muffins and it looked like he had one of the fruit drinks at least once and of course the one biscotti he begged for. I also Starbucks sells water so that should count and if I were to tackle that, there's always decaf.
Malkoff's next mission??? McDonalds! :D How many of THOSE are in Manhattan?? According to Google Maps.....8058!!!!

I'll bet a donut that a 172nd location opened for business the split second he exited the last one on his list.
