Blue and white, a Greek key, and a paper cup that became a New York object.
The blue-and-white paper coffee cup with a Greek meander border and the words "We Are Happy To Serve You", designed for New York's Greek-run coffee shops.
The story Cited · wp-anthora
Greek immigrants ran a large share of the city's coffee shops and diners, and the cup was made for that trade. It has since been treated as a piece of New York design rather than as packaging.
Today Inference
The cup appears in films set in New York more reliably than any donut does.
