The Stumptown at the Ace Hotel has lines out the door and into the hotel lobby on just about every weekday I’ve been there. When the blizzard finally came to an end on Monday, I stopped in for some coffee before getting some work done and this place was empty. Dead. This was the only person on line. That’s what it takes for them not to be busy – a blizzard in the week between Christmas and New Year’s.
