Best Place To Network With The Hole In The Wall "elite" And Still Be Home By Noon

Quack's

The Guadalupe Quack's may be dead, but the Hyde Park location is thriving - mostly off of caffeine-addled musicians, it seems. With Sixteen Deluxe's Carrie Clark behind the counter and a Who's Who of Free-for-All illuminati inside, outside, and on the tree-covered park bench, Quack's has become the Hyde Park equivalent to Flipnotics - a place for musicians to meet sans instruments in the morning (that's 11am-1pm, Musician Standard Time). With all the gossip flying, for just the price of a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll, you too can know what's in next week's "Dancing About Architecture" before even Ken Lieck does.
