No more meetings at Starbucks

There is. Check out Les Halles.

Couldn’t agree more, I just wish such a place existed anywhere near 23rd & park …

amen

From now on all meetings over coffee will take place at charming independent cafes and bookstores. No exceptions.

New idea for a Web site: A Starbucks-alternative directory for intrepid business nomads who want to spice up their meeting spots.  Cafes and restaurants indexed with ratings on 1) how quick it is to get a cup of coffee and the general suckitude or non-suckitude of said coffee, 2) whether it’s appropriate to order coffee without food or whip out a laptop, 3) Wi-Fi, natch.

Does this exist already?

It doesn’t, as far as I know, but it should.  For the record: Les Halles has good coffee, is happy with you ordering “just” coffee, and offers free WiFi.
