Writing is often a solitary task, but it doesn’t require solitary confinement. In fact, many writers prefer being out amid the buzz of the city. J.K. Rowling began Harry Potter’s journey in the back of a coffee shop in Edinburgh. Hemingway was known for his love of Paris cafés. And, of course, many New York City coffeehouses have played host to a number poets, playwrights, novelists, and screenwriters.
Writers often find the background noise and energy of a coffee shop or café helps them focus and boosts their productivity. While some of that energy is certainly due to the many cups of caffeine being consumed, most of it is simply the hum of life. It’s invigorating, it’s purposeful, and it may lead to new insights and perspectives on your work.
Spending time absorbing the dynamic spirit of a local neighborhood café can fan the flames of your imagination and benefit your storytelling abilities in a variety of ways. Accidentally overheard conversations, people watching, chatting with a stranger – pay attention to these interactions, soak it all up, and see where it can take you and your story.
Sample the atmosphere of a few of these popular New York City cafés, as well as their food and beverages, and you may just find yourself a new favorite writing spot and watering hole that not only fills your belly, but feeds your creative spirit as well.
