In every city, I need a retreat. A local. A small cozy place I can feel at home in. A place where the baristas know what I mean when I say ‘the usual, thanks.”
I believe I have found mine. The Black Cat is a great little coffee shop which transforms into a bar at night, but somehow retains the same chilled out vibe through this day to night transition.
Awesome music, a green patch with vines growing around picnic tables for drinking at, a very chill atmosphere, and communal couch spaces. Plus some out-of-towners, like the French girl that asked me if the seat next to me was “busy.” (eg. Is this seat taken?)
Did I mention free wireless? I think you all know where to find me.
