“tea for one”

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

“Sunday morning, rain is falling”

It’s a cold day in nyc today.

Plus, rain is falling.

I didn’t pack for all possible seasons,

so I’ve layered on thick cotton black tights underneath my chiffon floor length skirt.

Still freezing, I’ve taken cover at a French pastry shop nearby called, “financier patisserie.” I plan on staying here a while.. People watching.. Drinking a cappuccino… Staying warm.

“on the corner of Leonard”

If your out and about on a beautiful day in NYC, the Square Diner is where its at.

It offers a narrow row of outside tables that share the sidewalk with ongoing pedestrians. Brunch and lunch is served all day. I had the homemade French onion soup and it was delicious. The best part of it, my bill was 4.25.

Cafe Descartes

Im currently at Cafe Descartes in Chicago.. Enjoying a Red Eye (-espresso combined with normal drip brew coffee) as I try to observe everything in front of me. The beautiful weather appears to have encouraged everyone to wear bold patterns. Everyone has their RayBans on and most have a Nikon around their neck. Its quite interesting how we all appear similar yet we are all very different.. I wonder what Descartes observed and pondered when he had his morning coffee.
