NYT does the coffee house story

| 2 Comments

In the New York Times on Sunday (according to the date on the website), Janelle Brown does L.A. trend story #376A: screenwriters who write in coffee shops. Free publicity for Insomnia Cafe, the Los Feliz House of Pies, Stir Crazy, Urth Caffe and once again The Office. Tourists in search of celebrity sightings should not take the following passages literally:

At the quiet Elixir Zen Garden in West Hollywood, it's likely you'll see Keanu Reeves...

In the hushed lobby of the celebrity stomping-ground Chateau Marmont, you are likely to spot Sofia Coppola or Sean Penn...

Emphasis added (for the sake of ridicule).
