Intellectuals, Inc.

In the late 19th century, intellectuals gathered in coffee houses where they smoked cigarettes, drank Turkish coffee, and talked incessantly about anything and everything under the sun. Today, intellectuals, inc. hopes to accomplish the same thing by providing a forum for intelligent commentary on history and culture, politics and current events, art and music, literature and movies, and today's best (and worst) restaurants.
