Friday afternoon Dallas and I headed to 1702 for some dissertation writing for me and paper revisions for him. Surely I can work just as productively with a beer in hand as a cup of tea right? Turns out I totally can. I got at least as much done, if not more, that afternoon than I usually do during a dissertation date.
Pros:
- There are lots of tables, and as long as you don't arrive during a meal rush, there are plenty of tables.
- They have totally delicious pizza and about a zillion beer options, including beers that this non-beer-fan enjoys.
- It's within walking distance of our offices, and a somewhat long walk from home.
- Free wifi
Cons:
- Timing is everything. You're going to have a hard time if you arrive during the lunch rush. We got there shortly after 11 (kinda early for lunch), started with a beer, ordered lunch later, and worked all afternoon.
- There aren't that many outlets, and none near the tables by the windows.
- The place is pretty loud when it gets full.
- When we go to a cafe I get a cup of tea or a chai latte - neither of which is particularly unhealthy. However my waistline can't support a slice of pizza and a couple pints of beer all that often...
I enjoyed this dissertation date very much. I'm quite sure this will be a quasi-regular thing.
