Cabbages as winter street flowers. I wonder if anyone ever eats them?
The trend for ordering ice coffee 'to go' in the freezing winter. Is it like hot tea in the desert?
Big breakfasts in diners - a perfect halfway between a cafe and budget restaurant. Here is where i ate frequently, on my way home from work. Also a good place to eat if your alone.
