good place for writing group to meet?

here4now

Does anyone know a good place in the hood where my writing group could meet? There are four of us and we need a place with decent light, not too loud, where we can hang out and discuss for a few hours. Any good diners or chill restaurants that are open late, or at least until midnight? Thanks.

You guys got any open slots? What sort of writing?

Thanks, sweet tea. Franklin Park is an interesting idea. I haven't been there yet but I'm looking forward to checking it out. We tried Soda once, but it was at night and it was a bit too dark and the music was a bit too loud.

OTB, we are a screenwriting group. Currently closed but things change from time to time. Is screenwriting your thing?

Any other suggestions for meeting spots?

Noo-Na maybe? I've never seen it really crowded.

Tavern on Dean has a little backyard that might be nice.
Prospect Perk Cafe but I don't know if they are open late.

You could always just go to the library too as long as you guys aren't too loud, and depending on when you meet. I meet all the way up at Columbus Circle in Manhattan for my writer's group which...sucks. Its farther than I travel for work during the week.

piggy backing on the late-night coffee topic, you guys could totally meet up at the outpost cafe on fulton / grand. just a block or so outside the borders of the nabe, but they have beer / wine / coffee / food and are open till 11. and an outside area while it's still summer!
