Tryst

Not quite a club, a bar, or even a coffeehouse for that matter, Tryst makes a great community living room. Overstuffed chairs, comfy sofas and country-style kitchen tables—not to mention the free Wi-Fi access—create a hip, relaxed vibe without feeling collegiate. If you want to drink alcohol, fine. If not, the coffee, served in enormous mugs, is very good. There is also a range of sandwiches (half of which are vegetarian). Alternatively, you could create your own salad or order several small plates for nibbling.
