Part 1 of 10: Ten Favorite Places to Write (in no particular order)

Our newest group run by Tom Rastrelli is in Mid-Wilshire, an area rife with coffee shops but not all of them are writer friendly or wifi ready.
Massimo's Mudspot not only provides free wifi but offers a variety of seating that includes the traditional table & hard back chair or a nice comfy couch to lounge on.  Their menu includes yummy sandwiches (some on house made bread) and salads.  And if you're not in the mood for coffee, you can try their homemade lavender lemonade.

Massimo's features local artists on their walls and encourages local groups/soloists to play on their music night.

The coffee shop also encourages its customers to get a little exercise and help make the world greener.  On the last Friday of the month, they offer 10% off to every customer who rides their bike to the coffee shop and they support that habit by putting their bike racks right outside a large picture window so you can keep an eye on your vehicle! (They're so green that on their contact page of their website, they tell you which bus lines to take to get to them...)

The hours at Massimo's would be a disadvantage (7 a.m. to 6 p.m.) but the same people own The Little Bar Lounge next door, a no muss, no fuss, no kitchen, east coast feel neighborhood bar.  If you're hungry, they'll provide you with a choice of delivery menus from the area so you can order in....
