Cafe Wa Who?

Inspired by NYC's famed Cafe Wa?, CWW's divided into a 60-person upstairs live music space and a same-sized downstairs lounge decked out with leather club chairs and sofas, and serving a streamlined food menu (charcuterie/cheese plates, soup o' the day, pastries), full-liquor bar, eight wines by the glass, 14 bottled brews, plus java drinks. There'll also be gratis wi-fi, reading materials, and board games from checkers to Risk -- sadly, "but it's the game of world domination!" won't stop them from kicking you out mid-domination.
