Beth had arrived in New York City few weeks ago.  She came with the promise of a job with a respected law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson, with the promise of an internship and her own apartment.  Of course, they didn't say it would be a small one bedroom in an old building on a very busy corner of East 14th and Second Avenue.  But she had adjusted, since the pay was good and because she knew she was lucky to have a place.  Just as she had been lucky to get into the best colleges as well.<br/><br/>But this was Saturday morning and all she wanted was a hot cup of coffee.  So once she was up, showered and dressed in her favorite pair of blue jeans and t-shirt, she headed down to Teresa's Coffee Shop and Restaurant, on Allen street.  She had become quite a fixture there since arriving, and in some small way, it made her feel like she was part of the city that never rested.   Luckily she got her favorite seat close to the windows, ordered her a cup of coffee and just relaxed with the great aroma and ambiance.
