Mojo Coffee House, New Orleans, LA (10/10) | December 25 & December 26, 2024
Greetings from NOLA! I am very proud to say that my close friend, mentor, and oppa Yong Seok is an assistant professor of finance at Tulane University. So, this Christmas, I visited him with my Turkish friend Ali Kaan, who is an operations management PhD.
One thing I love about Yong Seok is that he has a taste. His taste is also reflected in places he dines in or his favorite coffee shops. Even in Bloomington, our favorite coffee shops are the same. Mojo is one of them. Does it have the best breakfast or bakery? No (especially compared to other places we visited in NOLA). Does it have a pour-over? YES! Does it offer dark roast coffee with dark chocolate notes not acidic at all? YES YES YES.
It has a good number of tables and chairs which makes it proper for doing research and studying.
Yes, I have a thing for coffee shops' restroom arts.
They offer interesting coffee styles such as espresso with ginger sparkling water. We went there once to have breakfast and once to have a coffee and study. I wanted to try one of those drinks sounds interesting. I could not because of the amazing texture and taste of their pour-overs. Even the hotness level of it was amazing.
Yong Seok and I had their Boudin burrito with hot sauce while Ali Kaan had their Nutella croissant. Sausage and hot sauce, you cannot go wrong.
When we went there second time, it was Yong Seok and I. We worked on our separate things, he prepared teaching slides, and I did some data work. Then we talked about how to come up with a good finance research idea while having amazing coffee. Definitely amazing environment to do research...
Ali Kaan says "Magazine street... AMAZING!!"
