Jo's Coffee Downtown on 2nd. (btwn Lavaca & Colorado) seems to be pretty cool. The first thing that grabs you is the picturesque European qualiy of this stretch of 2nd. Auto traffic has been reduced to 2 narrow lanes in the very center of the strt w/ the sidewalks on either side widened in2 some sort of pedestrial esplenade. Very nicely nestled between lux. condos and 30+ flr skyscrapers. The patio tastefully juts out from the building frnt, taking full advantage of the generous brick laden thoroughfare. Same 'Jo's' w/ the addition of a full vittles menu. Not the same-styled hang as S. Congress, but nice.
