This is a great place, and is a must see, but if you want to sit and have a cup of coffee go up to the Starbucks around the corner because there are no tables or chairs here.

Normally, I am not a fan of Starbucks. But this one is the original and I am from Connecticut, so how often will I get a chance to see it.
