Here’s a picture of where this week’s Coffee and Code will take place:
On Tuesday, February 24th, from about 1:30 p.m to 5:30 p.m., I’ll be at Le Gourmand, which is located at 152 Spadina (on the west side, south of Queen and north of Richmond). If you’ve ever gone walking around Paris looking for a quick bite to eat, it’ll give you a sense of deja vu. It’s a cafe that doubles as a somewhat pricey mini-grocery that carries gourmet food. They make excellent coffee and hot chocolate (you even get a choice of two of French chocolate mixes), delicious sandwiches, a nice bowl of steel-cut oatmeal with fruit, but most importantly, cookies to die for. Hell, they’re cookies to kill for.
As with all Coffee and Code events, I’ll be working there instead of at my home office or the Microsoft offices so that it’s dead simple for you to walk up to me to talk about anything – Microsoft, our tools, tech and platforms, the industry, whatever!
(Prior to Coffee and Code, I’m going to be at the Developer Lunch at the nearby Sky Dragon restaurant. If you’ve got the time, you might want to check that out too.)
Coffee and Code is an idea I’ve been meaning to try out for some time. Every so often – perhaps once a week – I plan to work somewhere other than my home office or Microsoft’s offices but instead spend the day working in one of Toronto’s wifi-equipped cafe.
