Rather than start a new thread, I figured this was as good as any other place for my questions.

Here's the setup: I'm doing a trip down to MEL next week from BOS to rack up the EQM counter. The bad news is that I'm in desperate need to put in more time on my thesis for which the due date is rapidly approaching.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest an area of the city that is rife with cafes where one can linger about and work through the day? Internet access isn't necessary and I'm more than willing to pay for my share of caffeine/sustenance to avoid pissing off the proprietor. Suggestions? I've heard that St. Kilda is nice but I'm not sure if it aligns with these goals.

Oh, and just FYI I will be doing *some* sightseeing on this trip...it just can't be the focus this time around.
