Three or four weeks ago, I began spending my Fridays at Eastern Accents. I discovered that among five or six available wireless connections to the internet, one required no password and was readily accessible from the front tables of the cafe.

I get a window seat, plug in, get my breakfast, and crank out code all morning. I continue to earn my keep by ordering lunch there. Eastern Accent's Be Bim Bap just kicks ass - the meat is marinated in a "secret sauce" whose recipe Ben will never reveal - "family secret".

I have seen so many people in that cafe that I either haven't seen in years, or never see anywhere but there. It has been a great way to re-connect with folks as well as get a lot of work done in a very stimulating environment.
