This is The Mercury Dime, without people and with messed-up perspective. I colored it with their coffee, which felt like a waste because it is just too damn good to go on an index card. The Dime is located on 5th St. around the corner from 2nd Ave. They’re a little pricey, but it’s worth it: TJ, the owner, really cares about coffee. Plus everyone there’s super nice! Yeah!

It looks like the top of the counter is eye level, except that it’s a little slanted. You also used a brown marker, didn’t you? I like the use of color.
Perhaps next time the perspective will be better?

Perspective always gets screwy when I have to move my head up and down to look at the paper and then whatever I’m drawing…
The counter was indeed at eye level, and I used a warm gray marker, yeah. There were people, too, but they kept friggin’ moving.
