Picture This: Swiss Photographer Opens Coffee Shop in West Village

Although owning a coffee shop in New York City may be a luxury akin to owning a doodle or a rent-stabilized apartment, David Shama is living the caffeinated dreams of every New Yorker. Shama, a Swiss fashion photographer turned entrepreneur, opened a coffee shop and cocktail bar in the West Village. Named after his photography book, the coffee shop feeds his quest for celebrity or influencer status. Do Not Feed Alligators is his – and everyone else’s – dream.
