Elaine's Coffee Call

For most of the year, guests at the Hotel Lincoln are the primary beneficiaries of this shabby-chic coffee shop adjacent to the lobby. Here they can stop in for a cappuccino in the a.m. or perhaps an individual-size coffee cake, baked in the kitchen of Perennial Virant (also in the building). But from May to October, this shop is as valuable to locals as it is to tourists, because while across-the-street Green City Market sells a lot of things, it most certainly does not stock bottles of La Colombe's Pure Black, the only iced coffee cold enough and strong enough to steel you against the farmers’-market throngs.
