There are exits to the north, south, east, and west.

You are now on Kensington. A store advertises multicoloured keffiyehs under a sign that says: "Rock the Casbah."
>OH HELL NO
Sorry about that. Fucking hipsters.

You turn onto St. Andrew. You are standing in front of Moonbean.
>ENTER MOONBEAN
There are approximately 200 varieties of fair trade, shade-grown, organic coffee. Is there any one in particular you'd like?

I'm sorry, I do not understand that command.
>OKAY, ETHIOPIAN
Yum! You are now caffeinated.

Your entrance startles a Marxist study group sitting by the front door.
>JOIN STUDY GROUP
Sorry, you are not a grad student.

Fortunately, the option of mindless consumption is still open to you.
