the soul of the coffeehouse

"a coffee house,” wrote the austrian author alfred polgar, “is a place for people who want to be alone, but need company to do it.”

this spot-on insight begins a wonderful think-piece on the value of a real coffeehouse. i disagree with author william cook on the "noise of an espresso machine," -- espresso is essential -- but otherwise i think he describes the required atmosphere quite well.

why don't we have any of these in new york? smoke-free, of course. . .

and naturally we here at bccy always applaud those who make a difference as well as a living with their coffee. right on, pete rogers.
