Directly across the street from my apartment is an outdoor coffee venue called Jo's. This is not to be confused with Dominican Joe's down the street. Jo's is one of South Congress Ave's many sweet spots. I recommend the Americano with a shot of hazelnut and just a sprinkle of crack cocaine (just kidding...........about the hazelnut).
I'm posting these pictures for B.E.C.K., who wanted something that shows this charming coffee shop in our neighborhood. There is a Starbucks moving in around the corner, but I can assure you, this place has nothing to fear from the Mermaid (except perhaps people buying Bob Dylan's new CD...)
I posted this today as I'm in the middle of a visit from my sister and her two young children. I love them all, and love spending time with them. But these visits also make me realize how much I need those quiet moments. Have I always been like this? I think so. (194/365)

Where coffee flows, so does conversation, connections, and learning. Coffee is a tool. The sense of connection is the real goal.
A place in Greenwich Village that a fortuitous zephyr conversation pointed me at. They have a coffee roaster on site, and you can order not just a particular beverage but also a specific variety of coffee in it, and they have this nifty automated system which demand-serves roasted beans through tubes coming down from the ceiling.
Another member of Williamsburg's elite coffeeshop society, Hope And Union (located, predictably, at the corner of Hope and Union) is the closest coffeehouse to my apartment and, therefore, has been the beneficiary of most of my caffeine expenditures in the last fiscal year.
Until very recently, they appeared to have a reliable wifi signal, but today's visit disappointed on that count, costing Hope And Union several crucial points in my Personal Williamsburg Coffeeshop Challenge.
Though they have lost their wifi, they retain the lead in the sheer-proximity, restaurant-in-the-back and serves-cupcakes divisions, with added nice-guy points for serving Fair Trade coffee (a bit on the bland side, to be honest, but karmically superior).
Sheesh! Well, it certainly took long enough, but another one of my numbers was FINALLY pulled in my Flickr Bingo 2 game that I'm playing. The subject matter for this number is "Coffee Shops." For my assignment, I chose to take a picture of the neon sign above Fry's (grocery store) that advertises their coffee shop within the store.
