Java, Gratis

Two words: free coffee.

That's what a few local shops are offering today as part of a promotion related to the upcoming "Feast of Love." The Morgan Freeman/Greg Kinnear movie is an ensemble piece in which multiple characters are connected by (you guessed it) a coffee shop. Consequently, from 2 to 4 p.m. today, many mom-and-pop java shops are serving free cups of Joe to anyone in need of a caffeine fix.

Participants in the D.C. area are: Murky Coffee's Capitol Hill and Arlington locations, Modern Times and Sips Cafe on Connecticut Ave. Even if you don't end up seeing the movie -- it opens Sept. 28, in case you're interested -- at least you can score a free beverage. So plan that afternoon coffee break accordingly.
