I love New York # 18
Crammed next to five complete strangers at a five foot study table in a Starbucks in midtown. No one makes eye contact, or even looks up. Everyone is doing some kind of work on their laptops; most of them are also intermittently checking their Facebook, which is probably making them less productive (but maybe more inspired, which will make them more productive). Except for the middle aged woman. She’s reading a hardcover book and grading papers with a red pen, and I’ve actually caught her looking around the room a few times.
