you can be in America and still have a city with international significance that doesn’t conform to generic America. A lot of coastal cities fit that bill. You are in/around Boston right? At a minimum, Seattle, Boston, New York, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, San Francisco and Chicago (for different reasons) seem to fall in that category.

I'm on the other side of the state from Boston, completely different area. My city is known as the armpit of the state, it's kinda a shithole. That's why I was so confused when you said that, I live in the least cosmopolitan city you can imagine.
Fwiw, there are 3 Dunkins in adjacent cities (Gretna, Metairie and Harvey) and the 4th one in Biloxi which is about 85 minutes.
Three for the entire metro area? That's unheard of around here.
Shit, in my town there's a grocery store with a Dunkin across the street from a gas station with a Dunkin, a half mile down the street from a full service stand alone Dunkin. And another half mile away on the other side of the highway (interstate) there's another full size Dunkin.

I don't think Dunkin is big in the south. I didn't regularly see them when I lived in Memphis or Knoxville.
Edit: and I've only had Dunkin once in my life, out here in PHX when I was desperate for caffeine and running late.

The bagel shop I worked at had a drink called The Battenkill Crack. It’s two shots espresso, Battenkill chocolate milk, and coffee ice cubes. So simple, so good.
Also - coffee ice cubes, people. Your iced coffee never gets watered down! Maximum caffeine!

Yeah. I’m a cold coffee drinker, and Bad Ass Coffee in Pensacola makes those. That’s a Hawaiian kona coffee place which I think might be a chain. But regardless, the shit never gets watery.

We are like the #3 or #2 coffee roaster city in the world. Everything from the Folgers plant to Community, CDM and what not. It was always a cafe au lait city, and that worked great with coffee & chicory because the heated milk takes away some of the bitterness in apparently a chemical reaction. And while we made and shipped a lot of the worlds wholesale and retail market, in the last 20 years coffee shops really started flourishing. There are loca chains like CC’s (community coffee people) and PJ’s - both on the better side of good - it’s the barista culture that’s arisen over the last few years that makes smaller places like French Truck or many of the independent places worth trying. We have two incredible places called The Station (which doubles as a pretty high end bakery) and Church Alley within two blocks of my house. Church Alley is said to be owned by the best barista in the city. My palate isn’t that sophisticated, so I don’t know. But Station has a lot of special single source import stuff. It all tastes good to me, but again, I’m not good enough to know better. Also, unlike Dunkin which I am guessing is mostly an on the go thing, a lot of the small shops double us as community meeting spaces just like bars. Speaking of that, some of the alcohol coffee drinks around town kick ass too. Kaldi’s was an old like one in the French Quarter that made coffee cocktails at least back since the 80s.

It's about 90 degrees and you have me seriously craving ice coffee at 530 pm

Trader Joe's Five Country Espresso Blend is my favorite coffee. At least one cup of that amazingness is enough to wake me up (I don't use milk/sugar/etc either - it's an insult to the coffee IMO).

I wish I was making this up, but in “my city is shit” news of the day, just went outside and someone ransacked my car. They didn’t take anything but some weed and my work hat(??) but everything was everywhere. I should’ve locked it, but still.
But honestly, why my hat? They even left a really nice glass pipe I had in the center console, by took the hat. Fuck.

Normal people outside New England have iced coffee all year long, right?

I didn't know Bad Ass Coffee was a chain. Went there a bunch when I was in Virginia for training about fifteen years ago. Good stuff.

We find that it takes just shy of 16oz of coffee to make one tray of cubes. It’s completely worth it to make them tonight so you have them for your coffee tomorrow.

Ha! I had Turkish coffee once. Once. That shit was more brutal than Cuban coffee.

That blows. However, what's interesting to me is that the cost of living there is actually affordable. Mid 100's median home price? That's unheard of outside of Trumpland, America. Also, it looks like you have easy access to lots and lots and lots of cool places. But in the end, there's bad with the good.

My house is worth less now than when we bought it in 2006. That’s the main reason we haven’t left yet. The general area outside of Springfield is pretty nice, but we’re the part of the state Boston lawmakers forget exists so we get screwed a lot.

Turkish Coffee is so good!
We have a little Lebanese restaurant that makes their version with cardamom in it. So freaking good.
If I'm doing international, I usually will get a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The local community turned me onto it. It's the only type of coffee I'll ever have with sugar or sweeteners (condensed milk). That's one of the best coffees there is even if I have to break the rules to drink one. Also, it's strong as fuck.
