If you would like to meet for coffee in downtown Palo Alto at 5 pm on Wednesday, October 12, please email me (philg@mit.edu) to arrange a precise place. I have dinner at Jing Jing at 6:45 pm.
Update: Because I can’t bear the idea of paying less than $5 per cup of coffee or the idea that a machine might do the dripping of hot water… Blue Bottle Coffee on University Avenue in the old theater building. Yelp reviews say that there is a nice courtyard.
Further Update: Pete’s just west of Blue Bottle (closed for private event).
