When people walk to get from place to place, it's usually relatively easy to find a spot to get a beverage or some food, then relax for a while. Cafés often have seating situated with a view of the street. Parks have chairs, benches, and tables available for visitors. Individuals slow their pace and pause to sit in contemplative reflection, watch people, read, engage with companions. It's a good reminder for me.
