Main Streets Fundraiser Postponed

The Year of the Pig fundraiser has been postponed until Sunday, March 11 due to inclement weather.  Hope to see you then!

They Get It.

“Foodier-than-thou”.  What a fabulous term, and it’s explained in this Grinder post.  It relates to my post from the other day about “normal” food.

Whatever Happened To Normal Food?

I blame it on the Food Network.  Actually, I blame most unfortunate things on the Food Network, including my bout with a stomach virus a few weeks back…but that’s another matter.
Anyway…
I’ve noticed a rather disturbing (and utterly annoying) trend towards a simpering pretention on the part of people when it comes to food.  While I [...]

A New Business On The Boulevard!

Fabiola’s Salon and Spa - it should be open by the 21st of March, according to Fabiola, the owner…just in time for spring and summer pedicures highlights!  I’m so excited — I’ve been going to Salon 921 for a long time, and it will be nice to have an upscale salon in our neighborhood!  And [...]

Menu Schmenu, Part Deux…And A Chinese New Year Party!

I know I said I was going to redo the menu…and I am in the process of doing it, I promise.  I’m finding that it’s harder laying it out as a HTML page than in InDesign for print.  So it’s being done, and hopefully I’ll wrap things up by the middle of next week.
In the [...]

Better Late Than Never…

Looking for Art & Music

I need some art for the walls of the coffeehouse.  Good art.  Interesting art.  Stop by and drop off slides/samples/bring a few canvases…
I’d like at least three or four large (a relative term, I know, but work with me on this) pieces to hang, and rotate others in as needed — maybe every six weeks [...]

New Herbal Tea Selection

Because so many customers asked for it — I’ve expanded the selection of teas to include some really wonderful herbal decaffeinated choices:  Red Raspberry or Mint Verbena (in addition to the Peppermint we already offer) and a few varieties of Numi organic herbal tea, including a lemongrass and ginger decaf green tea I think you’ll enjoy. 
Ciao!

Ice Schmice.

Bad weather or no bad weather, we will be open this week!  I bought a new ham — a Virginia smoked, which is terrific.  Bring your laptop and hang out — and grab a Pigtowner and a latte!  Why go to work when snow days are so darn fun…?
