A lovely bookstore / cafe / restaurant / gifts … with old world charm.
It’s a sunny, low humidity Friday afternoon and it’s packed. We only have a cup of coffee. The place is huge.
I first heard of it is from a book club. Many authors come here to read their books – or hold their book prom here.
Interestingly to note that this American restaurant is ‘European-inspired’ 😂 WHY can’t they be inspired by themselves, like old good Americana?
Winston Churchill, the bluest blood British PM told his countrymen in 1955 “never be separated from the Americans.” Ok, UK is out of EU but it’s still part of continent of Europe. Germany 🇩🇪 and France 🇫🇷 are definitely European … but … don’t get me started on this… Although the founding fathers were all from Europe, but USA 🇺🇸 has plenty more to offer and be proud of, let your own your heritage, since 1776 to inspire you. 247 years is short compares to Egyptian’s 8,000 and Chinese 5,000 or 3,000 … but how many governments have last? China 🇨🇳 has just celebrated her 74th birthday a few days ago.
Oh I’m so off the topic 😂
Wishing you all have a great long weekend. Be happy and be well.
