Life Cafe 983

Brooklyn / Williamsburg in New York City

Yes Yes - Both No

Coffee: Yes
Alcohol: Yes - Both
Wi-fi: No

"Just as the original East Village Life Cafe was a haven for that neighborhood's early gentrifiers, Brooklyn's Life Cafe 983 caters to the new crop of young artists skulking about the otherwise industrial neighborhood of Bushwick. Part cafe, part local bar, Life is an oasis on dismal Flushing Avenue that offers hearty, healthful meals that fit the budgets of the local creative set. The weekly movie night and rotating display of Brooklyn artists on the deep red walls provide atmosphere without the straining self-consciousness of other hipster hangouts." — New York Magazine

"'Free Money,' a free weekly event at the Mandrake Bar in Culver City, manages to unite disparate Angeleno tribes — galleristas, fashion victims, starving artists and the skinny jeans set — by throwing casually outlandish theme parties. And earlier this month, the KCRW-sponsored fifth anniversary party for arts collective Create:Fixate, a bimonthly multimedia event, featured a cross-section of emerging lowbrow and fine artists, electronic musicians and purveyors of bohemian clothing and accessories, not to mention a troupe of dancing Santas." — Los Angeles Times, December 21, 2006

"For $5 an hour or $25 a day or $469 a month, you can rent a workstation with an Aeron chair, DSL and all the lattes you can drink. The owner, Aleks Horvat, a screenwriter himself, brought in a feng shui master to bestow positive karma." New York Times, May 16, 2004

"Steven Steckel is such a regular that his double espresso is waiting for him when he arrives every afternoon. Breaking protocol, he has befriended other writers and can give you a rundown on everyone's projects. His reasons are selfish, he said: 'I get a lot of help from them. It's a good collaborative place. We trust each other enough not to steal ideas.'" New York Times, May 16, 2004
