American researcher studying in Košice

Hi!

I am a 28 year old graduate student doing research for the next six months in Košice and the surrounding areas.

I do not speak Slovak (I speak intermediate Czech), and I'd really like to meet some English-speaking friends.  I spent the past 6 months in Prague, and I made friends quickly because it was summertime and everyone was outside.  Snowy Košice is pretty, but it seems harder to meet people. 

I like hiking and running. I am an advanced swing dancer (though there doesn't seem to be venues for that) and a beginning salsa dancer . I play the ukulele poorly and I like to sing (also poorly).

Would any one recommend somewhere to get good coffee and/or good beer?

Have fun!
