But these tools are becoming more a part of our workday life which, as posts here prove, some restaurants are trying to accommodate. Getting on the web is no longer that much different than reading the paper while having breakfast.
Internet access is typical and expected at coffee shops. Restaurants hopefully can keep the focus on dining. But there is a middle ground.
The two places I mentioned (Treet's and Perkfection) seem to be aspiring to become comfortable cafes where it is O.K. to hang out over a coffee or before or after eating a good meal. I appreciate that and don't take it as a signal it's O.K. to start hauling out my laptop at dinner.
