For Where attendees, salon E (second floor) at the SFO Marriott.

Praized could have almost made the launchpad but we are not quite ready yet for prime time, but grab me in the corridors for a one-on-one demo of our platform, API and blog plugins for Movable Type and Wordpress.

I'm really looking forward hearing the talks tonight, all the Ignite events I went to have been really thought provoking and entertaining.

Praized Media's CTO and co-founder Sylvain Carle is attending Where 2.0 conference next week in Burlingame from May 12 to May 14.  For that purpose, the Web2Places.com website is now morphing into a Where2Places website showcasing nearby businesses, venues and local events happening around the Where 2.0 conference.

The conference is at the San Francisco Airport Marriott, right next door to SFO.  I had the chance to stay there last December and it's great!  Check out the indoor pool.

CenterNetworks offers their choices for local businesses around the Moscone Center.  As they say, "around the Moscone Center in San Francisco where the Web 2.0 Expo is being held are numerous great spots to help the conference attendee. However there are also even more spots which cater to tourists and convention attendees, that alas do not have great food or service.  So a few suggestions and a local, foodies, guide to SOMA near the Moscone Center."

They go on to suggest the following places:

Coffee/Tea

Samovar Tea
Blue Bottle Coffee

Restaurants

Canton Seafood
Tara
Straits Cafe

Tech Supplies

Apple Store
Central Computer


Anyone has other interesting recommendations?

I don't remember when I first heard of Blue Bottle Café, but ever since Kevin Rose raved about it on twitter (or was it Chris Messina constantly talking about it?) the word has been going around the twitterverse... Kim also wrote a good post a few days ago that reminded me about it.

More info/discussion on Outside.in and pictures on Flickr. I will surely indulge tomorrow, been working hard lately, I think I need it, I deserve it!

What's your take on the best local coffee in SF?

(oh yeah, makes me think I should do the "best local beer" post soon, will need that too!)
