What is your favorite restaurant?

That one eatery with the wilted menus, fake flowers, and bad lighting.

Something unknown’s on mute, flickering across an ancient TV in the top corner. A radio is playing somewhere, you can barely hear the music. There’s a teen at the register, bored but dutiful, and a kid battling their homework at a random table. Pots and pans can be heard, something delicious is sizzling. A woman hurries busily between the tables, an older relative is yelling in the back.

Such eateries exist everywhere, and the food is always exactly what you needed, right at that moment.

Like lighthouses in the dark, these hidden gems are human, necessary, and perfect.

To be or not to be…

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

Shakespeare for a day:

Meet Kit Marlowe.
Find out what Elizabeth I was like.
Write a groundbreaking play.
Quaff and Brawl and Sing Raucous Songs.
Court Miss Hathaway and talk about Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo and ruin the entire timeline.
