Hard Man Gordon

I assume this is The Guardian's April Fool, although you could almost believe it ..... until you look at the posters.

Cafe Life - places to while away an hour, or two .....

Betty's Tea Room, York Yes, I know it's a cliche and overpriced, but who cares. A Yorkshire institution.
Cafe Artista, Marchmont Road, Edinburgh - the best pizzas outside Italy. Luckily, shuts too early in the evening for us to indulge too much.
Cafe Braunerhof, Vienna - in the heart of the old town, but off the tourist track - the waiters are old enough to remember the Habsburg Monarchy.
Cafe Circle, Canonmills, Edinburgh Delicious food, especially breakfasts, fantastic breads and pastries, and always a friendly welcome from the lovely staff.
Cafe Diglas, Vienna The deepest cakes I've ever seen - or tasted!
Cafe Sperl, Vienna The epitome of a Viennese coffee house - complete with extravagant cakes, coffee on individual silver trays, the nicotine patina of the walls and arrogantly charming waiters.
Grindleford Station Cafe, Peak District - haven't been for years but it used to be my favourite place. Egg and chips (the chips are perfect!), washed down with mugs of coffee. Combined our visits with a good walk to assuage the guilt. Marvellously insulting handwritten signs everywhere telling you what you can and can't do.
Kawiarnia Noworolski, Krakow - large, grand old coffee house in the arches of the historic 'Cloth Hall' in central Krakow. Lenin reputedly held court and plotted the Bolshevik revolution here. Nice cakes as well.
The Damascus Drum, Hawick Cafe and second-hand bookshop - a match made in heaven. Unexpected little oasis of bohemian eccentricity amongst the tweed and Pringle woollens of the Borders.
