It's by Real Food cafe, and the owner is super helpful and friendly. He had a little feature in the exhibit last year at the Public Museum about immigrants. It's not as big as the one on Kzoo/44th, but it's more cozy and welcoming. They have fresh injera (I have no idea if I spelled that right) bread and it's so good!

She put up with a lot between Amy (who is my sister) and me as we worked out the kinks of our relationship as sisters, friends and boss/employee. We laughed a lot, and I would dare to say that some of our best times together in the store were spent during those late nights - utilizing the "crawl space" above the beer cooler, organizing the basement, making gift baskets, breaking down countless boxes after a back room mega-purge. Christine and I are truly the "nerds" of AOTT organizing! Even though I'm not an official AOTT employee anymore, I love that she (and other employees)still make me feel like I am part of the team whenever I come in! I will miss you a lot Christine! Enjoy Canada! Andrea What do I say about Christine, who was truly with us since the beginning at AOTT?

You are already greatly missed! Best wishes, I know your energy and warmth will be well received however it is that life's journey unfolds for you next. We have grown from your presence Christine.
