Have you tried UK farmhouse ciders? I'm curious how the general styles compare. Unfortunately, I don't know the NYC scene at all - I'm rather more familiar with San Francisco. (FWIW, I haven't tried the place yet, but http://upcidersf.com/ is on my radar)

I didn't think I liked cider, then I tried some from Normandy while I was on vacation, because it was extremely cheap (3 Euro/750ml) and I knew it had a good reputation.

It was great. I've tried to find something similar in the US, but even the drier, higher-end brands just can't match it, despite being far more expensive.

For the record, Despaña in SoHo will serve Asturian sidra and will provide the little electronic spout you need to drink it properly without getting the floor all wet.
