24 hours

It's the city that never sleeps - well, that's what they say, anyway. What's your favorite 24 hour spot?

The one I seem to end up at the most is 7A, but not because I love it. It's just...there. And going there has more to do with finishing up a night of bar hopping than anything.

Currently I'm in the market for a place where I can go and sit with my computer all night. Now that the weather is tolerable again I'd like to expand my horizons as far as my home office goes! And I'd really like to know if there's such a place to go in Brooklyn.

@JenMac Oh, yeah, I know French Roast pretty well...had forgotten about that place.

I just found out that the cafe I had posted about earlier, Esperanto Cafe, has closed. Yaffa Cafe is another great late-night place, and in case you expect to have more interesting company than just your laptop, they will give you a free condom upon request.

I don't know any late-night places in Brooklyn, though.

Haha! But you have to do the askin'...although a complimentary condom in lieu of a fortune cookie with the bill would be an excellent addition to one's tab! And give rise to some pretty awful "big spender" "hefty tip" etc puns...

@ajadedidealist Yaffa used to just have a bowl of condoms at the cash register. You could help yourself without asking. Maybe they instituted the ask policy because too many people got grabby (or way to optimistic about their prospects) and grabbed too many at the same time.

@JenMac I am not going to bring my laptop to Kellogg's! Something tells me they don't have wifi, anyway.

...and even if they do, I do not want to hang around a bunch of drunken hipsters at 5am.

Is there ever a good time to hang around drunken hipsters, @BroadwayBK?

@Ajadedidealist: I don't like hanging around drunks, no matter what their ages may be. Since I don't drink, I do not go into bars. Therefore, I avoid drunks as much as possible.

The only good time to be around anyone drunk...is when you are also drunk! Duh.

@ajadedidealist Probably only if you are a) a hipster and b) drunk. I'm guessing.

Well, I dunno . . .being around stoned people when you're not may take the ticket on annoying situations. And, there's always those pesky crack addicts that annoy my sober time too :)

@Ajadedidealist: Well, I guess that means I am a boring person since I do not drink. But I would rather be boring than be a drinker. Drinking often leads to alcoholism, especially for those who are prone to it, or have the disease of alcoholism.

@hhusted True but if you know your limits and moderate your consumption you need not turn into a lush every time you drink...

I don't think drinking OFTEN leads to alcoholism... not saying that it doesn't happen but come on. Fine, it's a common problem but not everyone that drinks is going to have a huge problem.

@Uptowngirl: That is true for those who have the willpower to stop. Unfortunately, not all people can do that. Therefore, they end up drunk.

You said it often happens. Especially if you're prone to it. And obviously it does happen. But often?
