The best antidote for a day full of meetings in boardrooms in a suburban office park is to finish it in different surroundings. So when my last meeting on Friday ended with a couple of hours of business day to spare, I made a beeline for one of my favourite “field offices” – Cafe Novo, located across the street from High Park, and a very short walk from home.
The photo above was the view from my “workstation” at 4 p.m. on Friday: the bar facing the roll-up front wall which in turn faces the park. Pictured are the tools of my trade – my trusty Dell Latitude XT2 tablet with the memory maxed out at 5 GB and the so-last-century mechanical hard drive replaced with a solid state one, my favourite portable mouse and an iced mocha.
Working in settings like this is one of the perks of the job.

How's the wifi? I could use another spot to work away from home or office.
Nigel: Cafe Novo's wireless is open, strong, reliable and easy to find (the SSID is the very obvious "Cafe Novo"). They're also quite work-friendly -- just "pay the rent", which is easy because their drinks and pastries are delicious.
Awesome. Baked goods, caffeine & wifi sound perfect.
