a while back, i blogged about good work/study places. it would seem this topic needs to be revisited. m and i have recently taken to working outside the house since neither of us can focus when we’re at home. she’s trying to get motivated to do work; i’m trying not to worry about how much it costs to work/study outside the house. pretty typical situation.
yelp published a newsletter on this very topic.
the issues: wifi, free parking, outlets, squatting privileges with decent food/coffee/tea, and bathrooms. literati cafe is now off my list as its wifi sucks. ditto for unurban coffeehouse (not too sad about this one as i wasn’t keen on the unique decor). i’d probably get a coffee from bite bar before i’d get a coffee from unurban.
good places. confirmed.
- cafe bolivar
- bagel nosh
- starbucks (this will only be a go-to place as long as i still have $ on my card; i don’t know what i’ll do if i have to actually spend hard-earned cash here. probably go somewhere else.)
