New York City Coffeehouses

1. Dima Garvrysh went to different coffeehouses in New York to observe the different behaviors taking place within a coffeehouse.
2. He wanted to see every detail of how a coffeehouse operates, from the delivery of coffee beans to customers drinking their beverages.
3. He wanted to give a look behind the scenes of locally owned places to show where coffee is treated with care, respect, and love.
4. The images give a welcoming feel to them; opening the doors of these coffeehouses without me even being close to where they are. They give a sense of calmness with the added chaos of a packed coffeehouse, but they also give a bundle of other emotions, like loneliness, love, and happiness.
5. I think the images enhance the story because it shows more than the letters of a keyboard could ever tell. It gives a sense of being there instead of just reading about something that is taking place all the way across the country from you.
