Train-ing up Ideas

There is something about cafes and cofeeshops innately connected to writers isn’t there?

(Except for the ridiculous Starbucks in Penn Station, which have recently closed up all their outlets. On one hand, understandable. On the other, HEY I used those!)

Where are your most productive places to write? What kind of environments do you like to write in?
