I am at Hop Scotch Cafe which is formerly known as A.L.T Cafe across the street from Tompkins Square Park.
This used to be one of my favorite hangout spots when I moved back from upstate to the city back in 2002.
With walls painted in orange, totally torn-up couches, and countless number of old keyboards and monitors in the bathroom, Alt.Coffee was the perfect dive for the coffee shop set. I havent walked in here in years until I and my friend E.Y decided to go in randomly for free wireless a few weeks ago. We started coming here more often now. It looks a lot different now and the music selection is better. I am posting some new entries on my blog as E.Y is checking his most recent nerdy obsession: www.forex.com. He wants to make money by trading foreign currency and tries to convince me to get into this.
