| - Alright, I can't be too detailed here because I only stayed for about 45 minutes, but I'll do my best.
I don't pretend to be an expert on coffeebars especially since I don't drink coffee, but after living up the street for this place for a few months and always seeing it packed when I'd drive by, I jumped at the chance to check it out when some friends were there earlier today.
I gotta be honest, this place was nuts. I was confused upon arrival and had to look at my watch to check the time because I thought I'd just walked into a nightclub. This place was PACKED. I mean not a seat open at 5:00 on a Tuesday. Music was blaring inside! My boss called me from NYC and literally asked me if he was interrupting my bar time because it was so loud.
Anyways, loud (bad) music aside, I still had a good time. The people watching was fantastic. Such a wide variety. I mean you had so many different angles covered. You had your hipsters typing away on their laptops trying to look very important, the tortured artist at the table next to me feverishly writing in his journal, the section that I can only call the hairdresser's corner because all of their hair was immaculately coiffed and standing about 3 feet high, to my friends who were doing actual work at a table, sending out invoices believe it or not.
And then there was me, jaw gaping open the entire time, obnoxiously staring at everyone around me trying to get my bearings.
Since I did not eat or drink anything, I should probably point out that I will be returning to Lux for the people watching alone. It was that good. I'd imagine it would be mildly difficult for me to work here with the loud electronica music blaring in the background, but that's alright, I'm willing to sacrifice work for just a little while longer : )
