After bouncing between several coffee shops, which were tasty but far to loud and crowded for my liking, I FOUND THE LIBRARY! And it's quiet and there are very few people here and there are lovely comfortable spaces to work!!

It is impressive how the Atlantic seems to hire so many people who would buy the Brooklyn Bridge from you repeatedly if you told them it was on sale at a discount this week.
