Fort Lauderdale Coffeehouse
Posted on Jun 16, 2010 under dining | No CommentOne of the best measures of a city is by the strength and character of its coffeehouses. It doesn’t matter much any more if there are too many strip malls that all carry the same stores as any other city in the world, because every city in the world has these (with a few exceptions). When one can find, in the midst of all the sea of sameness, a place that seems to cultivate difference, then there is hope that interesting things happen.
There’s no question that Fort Lauderdale is interesting. There are too many wild parties, too much ocean and sun, and too many travelers coming through to let loose on a weekend for it to be dull. For all the tourists looking for Fort Lauderdale cheap hotels , there are plenty of things to make this city a remarkably splendid draw.
The usual tourist haunts are always buzzing, even on the occasional rainy days, making it a wonderful city to come to unwind. And there are enough spots of solitude so that people looking for some peae and quiet, away from the parties, can find something to love, too. And, perhaps even more fantastically, with places like Underground Coffeehaus , there’s something different, too, where an afternoon can turn into an experience that’s impossible to forget, but for all the right reasons.
This is a community coffeehouse, in the old fashioned sense of the word. It has the atmosphere of a European cafe, except here there is coffee more than any other beverage, where people come not only for their daily caffeine intake, but to be with the community. This is a place where artists and intellectuals come to hang out, the place where students go to be with each other, playing board games, reading, and catching up on all the local gossip. It is an artist’s haven , but it is also home to a lot of other people, and if there are keys to the local underground scene, chances are someone here has them in their pocket.
