Checking Out a New ‘Office’

There’s a new coffee shop on fourth. It’s called Momento, and they really do make an amazing cup of coffee. I’m having a low-fat latte, (I know it’s an oxymoron), and maybe I’m a moron for thinking I won’t put on a kilo when I drink a 16 oz bowl of java.

They have wireless and power and not bad music. It’s much smaller than The Wired Monk, but seems to be open to a writerly crowd…over 90% of the patrons are on computers and it’s pretty much half PC half Mac…which is interesting since this cafe is owned by Rick Martin, owner of Mac Market next door.

Fair trade coffee in funky setting with pleasant servers and a talented barista. They smile too – something some of the Monk day servers neglect to do.

So, thumbs up to Momento!
