City Girl Cafe

I've been babysitting a third grader this week. I pick her up from school in Carrol Gardens, and walk her around to her after school activities. Today, I dropped her off at NYC Elite, a gymnastics center in Soho. And it gave me an hour and half to continue my "studying in coffee shops" series.

I found City Girl Cafe almost by accident. After walking around Soho and resisting the window-shopping temptations, I saw the sign saying Espresso. Then I stuck my head to the window, saw a couple of other tables with laptops, and went inside.

It was really busy, which impressed me. Yet I managed to find an open table, no easy feat in a small 7 table cafe. Most people in line were getting their coffee to-go. I liked the vibe, lots of big windows and very good light. And the music was conducive to studying as well.

The only distracting thing was all the people. Good for business, but I kept people watching. People watching is great, but a bit frustrating when is attempting to get through something as boring as the LEED handbook.
