Rinomata Gilateria - Lovely ice-cream.
MilanAH! YOU GUYS.
Anyone who expects to find themselves in Milan anytime soon listen up. Go here. You really must. They specialize in a crepe and gelato combination that is admittedly a little over the top, but it’s amazing.
My favorite gelato combination is Cannella e Pera (cinnamon and pear), but they were out of Cinnamon the day I stopped in. Someone please try it for me and let me know how it is!

This is amazing.
The second largest grocery chain in South Korea, Home Plus (formerly Tesco), has created an augmented reality shopping experience in the subway - where people could actually buy groceries and have them delivered right after they got home that day.
“With lighted billboard visualizations of the actual shopping experience, someone waiting for a subway who was armed with a smartphone with a QR Code reading app installed could order the groceries they needed without physically going to the store itself. They find the items they need, buy them through the app, and the groceries are delivered to their home.”

Your dad drank coffee before you did. He has been drinking since before Starbucks was a small Seattle coffee shop and long before you stopped drinking Starbucks because it was “too mainstream.” His cups were strong, each sip was an eye jolting, bitch slap to drowsy that firmly signified work was about to begin.
You hipsters couldn’t sip from the same mug as your father.
Your coffee is sweetened with unrefined sugar from a fair trade farm in small town South America where the workers are paid a living wage. His was black. You top off your lattes with a non-fat, non-dairy, soy, vegan foam. Your dad doesn’t know what a fucking latte is, nor does he give a shit to find out. He drank coffee to wake up, not so he could have a free place to steal internet while bitching about all the political change that needs to happen. So hipsters, next time you want to be a perennial bad-ass, reach for some Folgers and harden the fuck up.

No Coffee by Jakob Norberg
One should not underestimate the role of coffee in the bourgeois social imaginary. The specific rituals and behaviours of commensality that have emerged around coffee drinking do seem to occupy a special place in bourgeois life: coffee does not intoxicate, it is even conducive to labour, but one must still take a short break to consume it; the conversation that accompanies coffee consumption can range from the banal to the serious, but it never takes place among irreconcilable enemies and tends to present itself as an opportunity to neutralize noxious conflicts; it is pleasant to have coffee with others, and yet the act of drinking it is not an essentially collective enterprise, and hence does not violate the idea of a society of neatly separable atoms. The coffeehouse or the café is thus the site where the bourgeoisie has, throughout its history, shown that it can conceive of a kind of human interaction that, in a minimal fashion, transcends the contacts necessary for purely economic transactions. One can say that bourgeois society allows for at least one place where community appears as something other than the secondary and somewhat mysterious effect of the pursuit of individual self-interest. We can converse, for a while, over a cup of coffee.
