during the daytime you can grab a cup of coffee here and flip through one of the many books available for purchase. at night it’s a great place to drink a beer or have a glass of wine with a great cheese plate. but make sure to check the site for events beforehand, in case you arrive in the middle of a poetry reading. the only gripe i have with this place is that after 9−10pm people start smoking inside, which is especially hard in the winter when all the windows and doors are closed. but if you are a smoker, it’s great i guess.
