In walking to work during the week, I'd pass St. Elmo's and curse the people loughing at tables with excellent coffee and pastry, going through newspapers or their laptops. On weekends I used to go by St. Elmo's and curse the families with their kids, dogs, and other impedimenta that made the place unapproachable.
But with the proper timing -- like evenings -- it's possible to grab a poetry reading, live music, a scratch chess (or go) game and go through some pretty good chai tea.
