This afternoon, I ventured (a few blocks down, few blocks across) to 3rd & Detroit. I visited a new in Creek called Güzel. It's not quite your regular run-of-the-mill . It's owned and run by some Turkish chaps, and therefore, in addition to the usual caffienated beverages, they do Turkish Coffee.
If you've not had Turkish coffee before, you're missing a treat. Even if you're someone who doesn't like or drink coffee, Turkish coffee is delightful. Güzel's Turkish coffee hits the spot just right.
As if that wasn't enough of an attraction, they have free wireless DSL internet access for patrons, and they play - KUVO!
A quick call to the KUVO , and Güzel was getting a mention on-air, and yours truly was having his customer card marked up with "Five free drinks*.
The pay might be non-existent at KUVO, but it does have the odd fringe benefit now and again.
Posted by Max at February 26, 2003 05:19 PMHmm, my problem with turkish (or lebanese and greek btw) coffee is that I sometimes feel like I'm eating it, rather than drinking it.
According to me, myself and I, you can't beat the italians when it comes to coffee.
You ought to be careful mentioning fringe benefits like that, otherwise the IRS will be taxing you for those coffees...
I quite agree with you Philippe. The Italians make the best espresso. Turkish coffee isn't my most favourite coffee, but I love it all the same.
My first ever espresso was made for me by an Italian girl I used to know. It was early in the morning, and she didn't have any tea. It was love at first sip.
I think my exact words, given that I'd not had espresso before, were, "that's not going to WAKE ME UP!!! WOAH!"
It had a bit of a kick.

now I have visions of Claudia Cardinale, greeting me with an expresso cup as I wake up...
A bit of a kick, indeed.
