Back in the day I participated in pub crawls (organized events that visit multiple bars in one night). My pub crawling days are over, but this morning Hubby Tony and I participated in a coffee crawl, which is something more our speed.
Just like the alcoholic events it was modeled on, this crawl was a nice way to meet like-minded people. There were two sessions. We chose the early one because Tony had a commitment later in the morning. The ticket price included a mug and samples from nine different places. (Eight of them were coffee; one was a coffee-infused candy.)
At some locations an associate served the coffee. At others it was self-serve. At those I made sure to only fill my cup up halfway. However, by the end of the event I think I consumed triple the amount of caffeine that I usually do. Instead of crawling I was buzzing along!
Sounds fun except a lot of coffee!
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, too much :-)
DeleteThis sounds like a great activity and one Terry and I would thoroughly love. You really don't have to drink the whole cup of coffee, just sort of taste and go on, unless, of course, the coffee is fabulous. I've found very few places that are that good. We've tried some new coffee places around town, before the pandemic, and rarely found coffee we would go back for.
ReplyDeleteTony and I have been checking out coffee places whenever we come across a new one. I agree that fabulous ones are few and far between.
DeleteThat would be fun, except for getting up early.
ReplyDeleteGetting up early was my least favorite part, but it was either that or miss the event altogether.
DeleteSo how many hours will you be awake? 48? 72?
ReplyDeleteOne of the advantages of finishing up by mid-morning was that by bedtime all the caffeine had passed through my system. Went to bed and slept like a log.
DeleteWhat a fun idea! I've never done a pub crawl. I'm not real thrilled with groups these days, either. Hubby is a coffee snob!
ReplyDeleteOur first few stops didn't have too many people. However, we took our time and walked through some neighborhood streets between some of the places, and encountered lines at the last few. I wonder what would have happened if we had gotten all the coffee first, then walked?
DeleteI drink my coffee like weak tea. It wouldn't be worth my while, but sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great initiative! I wish someone would organize something like this here.
