I'm afraid Leandro was misinformed. Starbucks was very much not open to the public today. I went by this evening to check out the mob scene and grab a soy latte para llevar, but the whole place was blocked off: velvet ropes, valet parking... probably the closest thing I've seen to a black-tie event since I got here. There were sheer curtains blocking the windows, but through the glass doors you could see people crammed in to hear this guy give a speech about how excited he was to bring Starbucks to this country. It was pretty obvious that the speech maker was not a native speaker. (Which basically means I had no trouble understanding him.)
So I ended up turning around the corner to McCafe, McDonald's coffee shop, and ordered a lagrima, which is 85% milk, 15% espresso, and what I thought to be a better decision at 8:30 pm.
Then two hours later Sherwin the Jamaican called me to go out. Nope, I've already got my contacts out. Sorry buddy, next time try calling earlier.
