Compared to New York, Boston, and most of the cities on the West Coast (and percentage-wise, even Portland Maine) there aren't as many good coffee shops to hang out in. <BR/>That said, Murky is a cut above most coffee-shops I've been to. <BR/><BR/>The question is one of not just the quality of coffee, but what kind of coffee-serving establishment you want. Within the chains, this is symbolized by Starbucks vs Dunkin Donuts. Dunkins doesn't want you to hang out there. They want you to get your coffee as quickly as possible, and go on with your day somewhere else. Starbucks encourages people to hang around. <BR/><BR/>Two very different lifestyle choices. In terms of quantity, DC has plenty of places to drink decent coffee and hang out. The problem is that most of them are Starbucks. The ones that aren't starbucks are Caribou, or Borders. Places like Murky are not the norm.Richard Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04968768747359745051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372209557843463371.post-67240919031543796352007-10-23T17:42:00.000-04:002007-10-23T17:42:00.000-04:00this is in no way one of the better places for piz...this is in no way one of the better places for pizza in the country. yes, a couple of those places you named are good. vace is great, but we need more good slice joints. lots moreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
