Well, should I ever have the uncontrollable desire, there's a Starbucks only three blocks from where I now sit.
Although it closes at 9 pm, I think. so I might have to go further to find an all-night Starbucks. If there are any.
And all the hole-in-the-wall places are kaput.
As I discovered today on my futile quest to locate one, at which to buy a decent donut (did I mentione that I don't like Krispy Kreme, either?).
Nada. --all this made necessary because the little corner rickshaw coffee stand, where I've bought a few donuts employs a guy who gingerly, slooowly lifted my last boston creme donut off the shelf and unceremoniously dumbed it, chocolate frosting down, into a brown paper bag. Which I only discovered when I got home. Needless to say the frosting was squished and sticking to the bag.
I mean how do you do that???? How??? How I say? How?
