It’s called Coffee Places Where You Can Think, and its right there. A word of caution though. Ariel is a connoisseur of coffee houses but his preferences are guided mostly by the atmosphere of the place and not at all by the quality of the coffee. Indeed his bad taste in coffee rivals only his bad taste in web site designs. So use this guide accordingly. (Here is a series of pictures of Ariel’s tin can of instant coffee traveling to exotic locales across the world.)
But the picture above is from The Mudhouse in Charlottesville, Virginia which is a place I can also highly recommend, having been there and had an exquisite cappuccino just last month with Federico Ciliberto.

1) Dont be shy! If you want a copy of my wonderful cafe poster, just send me a message to rariel@post.tau.ac.il (with full address) and one day a tube with the poster will arrive to your desk!
2) As to the “compliments” on my webpage design (which i am so proud about….), the readers are invited to judge themselves… An hint: the content of the homepage is that order has to be discovered from what seems (to some) as “disorder”…

WXRT has long done truly great (and original) April Fools stunts. One thing I miss about having moved away from Chicago is not hearing what they’re doing…

Oh good lord. I followed that link and got an instant migraine. To each his own I guess, but I couldn’t look at that page long enough to read it.

I can vouch for Philz in Berkeley and Yakiniq in SF. I have sat and thought in both, and the coffee is pretty good too.

With apologies to Paul Erdos: A scholar is a mechanism for turning coffee into counter-intuitive ideas
