Pastries and Chocolate and Coffee, Oh My!

Pastries and Chocolate and Coffee, Oh My!

Providence, Rhode Island

This small deli - The Euro Deli and Cafe - on the corner of Thomas and South Main in Providence has all of the primary food groups. After all, if we can't survive on pastries, chocolate, and coffee, what would be the point? The Hitchhiker's Guide was wrong since this is clearly the answer to 'life, the universe, and everything.' When I set out this morning for some street photography, this was the first scene I encountered and I really liked the casual nature of the outdoor dining. Their iced coffee was pretty good, too.

Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2014/i-p3VwQv9/0/XL/2014%2006%2027_0003%20copy-XL.jpg
Sounds like a great place to be! Love the atmosphere of this. Feels like Summer!
