big comfy couch

nope...not the kids show. i have a fantasy of spending the rest of today sitting in a big comfy chair/couch in a cozy coffee-shop-like place with my book, something hot to drink, and, if possible, good eats. any thoughts?

Last Sunday I had brunch at Between in Wicker Park. Their setup includes some overstuffed couches with low tables (coffee tables), as well as conventional tables/chairs and high-tops. There were a few couches near the front, and a few more on the right where there's a curtainlike arrangement offering a bit more of a feeling of privacy. And their food was great!

I'm doing just that very thing. In my house. Comfy & a whole lot cheaper ;>

Too late for the rest of today, but Dollop has squishy couches near the front window, and they have Hoosier Mama pies. They also have a few sandwiches and salads, but I've only gone there for warm drinks and free wifi.
