Go to this mellow bar and restaurant during the Seattle International Film Festival and you just might meet a famous scribe.

Haymarket Bookstore Cafe, Northampton, MA

Like many niche establishments in the artist town of “Noho”, Haymarket is carved out of a more than century-old business structure. Inside, you will find coffee and accompaniments at street level, but downstairs is the place to go to write (and enjoy vegetarian vittles in the basement café).

The Alibi Room, Vancouver, BC

Seattle's Alibi Room was such a hit in its first three years that in 1998 its principles opened a Vancouver location with partners Tom Skerritt, Gillian Anderson, and Jason Preistly. Like the Seattle location, Vancouver's Alibi Room exists to support independent film (and serve food and beverages). If you're in Vancouver, go there and see if it feels like a place you can write outside of your home set-up.
