So much love for this. When I first ventured out after the pandemic, restaurants are cafes were so uncomfortable to be in. I've gotten over it now and can on occasion even sit with my back to the door, but in general you'll find me in the corner surveying the space, and very rarely with my back to it. P.s. your cat has a great moody stare going on here.
I sat at that blue bottle in San Mateo yesterday but I always turn the stool to face the door. :) I also optimize for the best table at restaurants. It gets complicated now with a toddler as space for high chair has to be taken into consideration.
This is was the work of the great architect Christopher Alexander was all about! Dude wrote 12 books but you can sum it up in one pic: http://www.katarxis3.com/Gallery/houses/sa-alcove.jpg
Yes! I tried to not to get too into Alexander in this post but wrote a number of posts about this a few years ago https://mysticalsilicon.substack.com/p/how-to-make-living-systems
