The best advice I can give is: don't rush things.
Take your time and give life to the surroundings in the book, but make sure you leave something for the reader to make up in his/her own head.
Too detailed descriptions will make the reader dizzy; too little descriptions will make the reader lost.

Basically, explain basic details so the reader is able to imagine the rest.

The question being...which mooter would this be? (Or did I miss an obvious subtlety?)

Pff, I'll just go to Borders and read it until I find out!

I love sitting in Borders and just reading through stuff at the cafe there. As long as I buy stuff once in a while.
