York Street tourist table versus a local sit two lanes toward Beira Lake — terrace or walk
York Street, leftover drizzle, we want a sit. Terrace looks dry and priced like a postcard. Two lanes in there are plastic chairs and a queue of locals. Not trying to be cheap for sport. Trying not to occupy a four-top for a feeling.

Walk two lanes. The terrace is pretty and priced for the photo. Nobody is scamming you; they are just pricing the view. A bun and tea toward Beira Lake is the ordinary sit. If you want the courtyard photo, have one drink and leave. Do not camp a four-top for email.
We sat the plastic chairs, walked the terrace after. Fine. One soda was enough.
Pride occupies a terrace for two hours and then complains about the bill.
