Soho Park cafe - D. Chop -ra (somewhere around day 14)

Manager Joy of Soho Park cafe got very philosophical with me. "There is another path," he began saying about my project. "You should be able to find another way as a writer than what you are doing." Just when i thought he was mad at me for my business proposition-project (feed me ny), he said "it upsets me".
"Do you know Deepak Chopra?" i asked. it was all sounding a little spiritual inspirational. "I know him" and he went on. It's not about the money he said. He could feed me; it was about finding another path. "You want a burger?" "We're the best burger in Soho."

"i finished my masters, public policy. A writers' life should be more fulfilling than this," he said. "I know Fareed Zakaria well." He went to order my burger.

He went on. "a writer's life should not be about looking for food." I had to interrupt to ask "Did you give me fries?" "Yes," he replied. Good thinking. It would upset me if he didn't.

He gave me my take out bag and asked me to come back so as to continue our conversation. I said i would.

Not only did i get french fries; i got a soda and i didn't even have to ask. I love that.

A good solid burger (on the smaller side) with lots on it.
Did not inquire whether grass fed hormone free beef.
