This small cafe
"We were in a small cafe
And you could hear the guitars play
It was oh-so nice
Hey baby, it was, uh, paradise" Lou Reed - Berlin - 1973
Even if the guitar is not always there (or almost never), this small cafe's bringing people together for a coffee, a beer, a soccer evening or social gamess all make their surrounding richer. Reawekening from a few lockdowns, this never seemed so accurate.

Some pubs are not meant for busy bodies, but for slowing down. Phone conversations are forbidden inside. Of course one can read the news on the smartphone but tangible news papers are available
