In my first Project 365 post, I chronicled my wi-fi-less adventures at Peacefood Cafe. Since swearing off coffee three years ago, I now choose from the tea menu when I go to cafes (at Starbucks, it’s a Grande No-Water Soy Chai Latte). Today, I ordered a $4.50 brazilian nut chai at Peacefood Cafe — one of the worst food purchases made in recent memory. Apparently, I’m not meant to go vegan.
In the two weeks since I left Saatchi and began working full-time on launching the Longitude, nomadic cafe-wandering has become a way of life. Today’s destination was Peacefood Cafe, a delightful new vegan bakery on the Upper West Side. I bought a blueberry scone (with a tofu spread!), poured myself a cup of water, laid my laptop on a sun-lit table, and received an error message informing me that my Macbook could not connect to Wi-Fi. Fail.
