From A-bombs to UES-bombs

It wasn't one of mine: was it one of his? ↑

New York Times, Monday, May 25th, 2009: An explosive device shattered the windows of a Starbucks on the Upper East Side early Monday but there were no reported injuries, the police said.

The device, which had been placed on the wooden bench on 92nd Street, just west of Third Avenue, exploded shortly before 3:30 a.m., the police said.

...Forensic investigators said the crude device contained frappa-mocha-java Fair-Trade-espresso-skimmed gunk with cinnamon dusting, no cream and probably cost $12.75.
