On Feburary 11th 2008, the city’s water-main burst, erasing us from the map. After lengthy painful negotiations with the insurance industry and months of planning and reconstruction we have risen from the ashes and are answering to your demands for our original roots offering you wholesome, unconventional food and drink. Over the past quarter of a century you have enjoyed us and often quite unexpectedly you sat beside luminaries from sport, the theater, the arts, the likes of Pierre burton, Bobby Haul, Gordie Howe, and Wayne Gretzky, Thelonius Monk, George Savalas, Nana Miscurrie, Mayors Premiers, Opposition leaders, politicians of all stripes and most memorably an afternoon with Bill Cosby whom we taught the art of steaming cappuccinos. We once again look forward to providing you with the pleasant gastronomic and socially interactive experience. We ask you to leave your laptops behind, enjoy this village icon.
