OK, I am seeing if I can reserve table space at Wayward Coffee <http://www.waywardcoffee.com/reservations/> on Roosevelt way in the Roosevelt neighborhood. I will be checking tomorrow to see if they respond & will call them if I do not hear from them by late afternoon. I hope to have all the information confirmed for dissemination by tomorrow evening.
I am hoping the WiFi situation will be better than that at Cafe Allegro. At least we can reserve a table & possibly get on the calendar at Wayward, which we cannot do at Allegro.
