Twelve dollars buys you a seat.

I have never seen so many people walk past so quickly.

Twelve dollars for an iced matcha is a lot of money to spend on a leaf and some oat milk. It is, however, very fair value for the seat — the window faces Mott, and Mott on a Wednesday afternoon is its own kind of cinema. A man in a suit. A woman with two dogs. A delivery cyclist heading the wrong way. Repeat.

I drank it slowly on purpose.
