New Year - New Projects

imageOkay, part of my new year will be an increase in my overall consistency. Whatever that means. (Maybe it means I’ll be less lumpy?)

But for the time being, I’m going to start listing here places where I “write out” since my Los Angeles friends may find it of interest.

Here’s the first and my most often patronized:

The Coffee Table
2930 Rowena Ave (between Hyperion & Glendale Blvd.)
Los Angeles, CA 90039-2042
Located in Silverlake, around the corner from Trader Joe’s

Hours - Open 7 AM til 11 PM - back patio closes at 9 PM

Prices - drip coffee $1.60 (50 cent refills) - served in real cups - fancy drinks start at $2.50. Decent but limited tea selection (Numi). Pastries, desserts & full menu, $8.00 average for entrees. Great garlic mashed potatoes.

Ambiance - lighting is decent, tables are roomy but it’s often crowded, especially in the late afternoon as lots of people seem to camp there for hours, no music but sometimes the other conversations can be loud (really more distracting since sometimes they’re interesting)

Connection - decent access to plugs, sometimes you have to wait for a primo table. If you like sitting outside, they’re ample access to power on the back patio (at every table). I advise bringing an extension cord so you can tap into someone else’s plug. If you’re a smoker, the front patio is nice, much nicer than most and heated. Also, this place seems to be a cell phone dead zone for Cingular service (though AT&T & Nextel work there)

Parking - 25 cents an hour, but can’t plug the meter for more than 2 hours at a pop. Usually easy to find a spot, except at peak hours, but then again, if you can’t find a spot on the street, you’re not likely to find a table either.

Of note - this section of Silverlake is up-and-coming. There are some cool shops around and if you’re willing to walk, down by the intersection of Glendale and Rowena, there’s a cool new shop called Clover that sells clothing and housewares

During November it's all about me writing a novel. Sometimes it's about whalewatching. You know, and then there's other stuff.
