anyone found good coffee within walking distance? and no, fourbucks is not good coffee.
Pitango is on the other side of the inner harbor (Fels Point). The minuses: not open first thing in the morning. At 1.7 miles a bit far to hoof it (there is a Circulator bus which is free). They serve Counter Culture coffee and have decent gelato. Same micro-chain as the folks in Google's building in Reston Town Center. A place with the unlikely name of Sidewalk Espresso ( http://www.sidewalkespresso.com ) is only a few blocks (0.7 miles) from the hotel and seems to have good reviews on Yelp. Just as important, they open at 7 am, probably an extra-important consideration. I'll probably be going there tomorrow - ran out of time today. The majority of coffee shops spoken highly of in the forums on Home Barista seem to be in Mt. Vernon and north (think hipsterville-meets- The-Wire). Too far to walk, and probably inadvisable even by car. -r
