Historian David Greene has written a delightful survey of London's coffee house culture in the 17th and 18th centuries. (Shorter version here.)



This post could also have been aptly titled "Alternate Careers for PhD's"; Dr. Greene's day works by day as a leader of historically themed walking tours through the City of London.
