That was my point in all this.
As for the offer, sadly I’d have to decline it as I don’t drink beer. Perhaps a coffee or tea instead!

Fair enough. Yes, I do judge the lack of retail because I know from living in New York City, Boston, Los Angeles (Manhattan Beach), and spending time in plenty of others that it makes the neighborhood. That's why I specified living in one of the places. Visitors end up going to restaurants near their hotel or they order room service, so it's a different experience, and a short one.
Mmm... coffee.
