Kicking off another day of work duties, Drew Barrymore was spotted pepping up with a beverage boost in New York City on Thursday (October 8).

Joined by a male friend, the pair went to 'Think Coffee' before Miss Barrymore headed off to a "Saturday Night Live" rehearsal session.

Meanwhile, Drew recently made her directorial debut in the just-released film "Whip It".

Talking about the flick, she tells, "If you think about it, it's very close to me. It seems pretty obvious in a way. I have a tumultuous relationship with my mother, so obviously that story had a deep emotional interest to me—about women who are empowered and can be athletic and capable and kick ass out on the track and be their own heroes, and I think finding your tribe is everything. I certainly found it with my company. Every aspect of this story, including first love and rite of passage, and being able to rock out in the car with your best friend, these are all themes that are crucial to my life. I was able to tell my story."
