The Lobby is here for you to get real human advice and suggestions for being in Cambridge! Maybe its [seeking lodging advice](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/lodging-advice-and-questions/9164/1) but maybe as important for some folks (like me) to get suggestions for the best coffee spot near the conference location.

Sure you can [Ask Google](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=best+coffee+near+mit) and find maps and lists all asserting their knowledge.

Who wants to sort through all this? Do I trust Claude to pick my coffee shop? No, I prefer hearing from a real human who lives or spends a lot of time in Cambridge. If course its still; judgmental! AI knows nothing about coffee, it just thinks so.

Okay, MIT locals, how about sharing your favorite coffee shops.

And maybe someone else can ask for recommendations for tacos, that’s always on my list too.
