Sk Netcafe   

It's the only lilac-colored Internet cafe in town, and that suits the folks at SK Net Cafe just fine. On second thought, it's probably the only Internet cafe in town, and that suits them just fine as well. More than a place to load your Net card, SK Net Cafe is a cozy, coffee-scented pit stop tailor-made for lecture-weary CPCC students or exhausted hospital staff. Grab a hot cup of serious espresso and a slice of cheesecake to fend off the urge for an afternoon nap, or cool off with an ice cream or smoothie. The comfy decor might not be trendy, but it does invite you to take a load off and stay awhile. Grandma's green velvet club chairs and dad's old recliner implore you to snuggle up and stay awhile. Five workstations offer fast online access at $1.50 per half hour, or if you're so inclined, bring your laptop and connect for free to one of the care's 17 laptop jacks. The unpredictability of open mic night on Thursdays packs 'em into this tiny cubbyhole, too; so if you want the bamboo wing chair, you'd better come early. -- Lesa Kastanas
