Missing soft red chairs, wide windows, delicious coffee, and Claudia’s warm smile? Listen to this playlist created by Staff Write Julia Tolda and feel transported to everyone’s favorite campus café: Liz’s Place.

To recreate an even more authentic Liz’s Place vibe, follow these five steps!

  1. Make yourself a nice coffee or tea. Grab the cup with your bare hands. Silently curse for half an hour.
  2. To mimic the revolving toaster, put a pastry in the oven. Forget about it. Remember only when it’s way too late. Eat the burnt pastry.
  3. Pretend all the seats are taken. Awkwardly hover by a table holding all your belongings. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes, feeling your hands burn.
  4. Sit in a comfortable chair with your laptop. Open it but don’t do your readings. Instead, browse social media and text friends until your drink cools.
  5. Put your chair close to the largest window you can. Look out dramatically, pretend to watch the cars go by Broadway or students sit on Futter Field. Wave at imaginary friends passing through.
