LOCATION: The Nook DISTRICT: Gardens of Pleasure, located an equal distance from the borders of the Tower District, Shantytown, and the Red Lantern District. TYPE: An arty cafe / lounge located, fitting, in a bit of a nook just below street level. NOTES: A little hole-in-the-wall cafe and lounge, The Nook is probably open every hour of every day without fail. It's one of those places that people have come to rely upon for either their coffee, their spiked coffee, or their straight alcohol, as well as all sorts of delightful Asian fusion cuisine. Like many places in the Gardens, it focuses on one thing and does it really well - not surprisingly, it's almost never less than half-full. The interior is dim, and generally unsure if it would prefer to be a proper lounge or an actual cafe: the seats are all nicely upholstered leather in deep browns, backlit by a small line of bright lights hidden just behind the edge to give the place a light glow that did come from above, and the tables are all warm woods. Somehow, though, it manages to look put together, and acts as an upscale hang-out for the City's citizens. Additionally, they tend to hang local artists' work on the walls, always available for sale.
