It seems like yesterday when we were all sitting along the North Shore, enjoying our ribs at the Rib Fest, or prancing along Point State Park staying cool near the fountain in what seemed to be 100-degree-heat.
Alas, all good things must come to an end unfortunately, which means winter has officially descended upon the Burgh. With the 15-degree days and the wild snowstorms that have plagued the area, it’s certainly time to take shelter.
And by shelter, we mean with a nice hot cup of coffee, by taking refuge in your favorite coffee shops in the Burgh.
Espresso A Mano
Nestled amongst the hipsters of Lawrenceville, Espresso A Mano offers a quiet hideaway for those looking to escape into their books or their computer.
Artisan Café
