Depending on where you are when the “need” strikes, finding good coffee is sometimes very hard (impossible?) to come by. Having lived in Los Angeles before moving to the suburbs of Boston, I know this to be true. But, as they say, where there’s a will there’s a way. Here are three excellent places to get an espresso-based drink within 30 miles of 02048 (southern New England):

• Caffe Nero, Jamaica Plain, Boston, MA
• New Harvest Coffee Roasters, Pawtucket, RI
• Redeye Roasters, Hingham, MA

I could rank them, but I won’t – you be the judge. Rather, what I want to do is get to the point, to tell you about my experience at Redeye Roasters and to offer you two more free phone wallpaper downloads.

Long story short, the latte was excellent and I got caught up flipping through an interesting book entitled, Homeward Bound: The Life & Times Of Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry. Here’s a photo I took of the open book on its side… I think it looks pretty good as a phone background and I hope you do, too. Thanks #SailorJerry.
