SAINT GERMAINE

In response to my entry, Coffee Houses, Vanessa Lee wrote --

Saint Germaine, on 83rd and 3rd, is a restaurant/cafe. Their deep mugs of cafe au lait are like straight out of Paris. Drink it slowly and take in the vibe, especially great on weekend mornings.

I agree. Step inside and you take a giant leap to Paris. C'set magnifique!

NEW STARBUCKS

The dog and I were out for our evening walk tonight when on the corner of 85th and 3rd what to our wondrous eyes did appear but the storefront for a new Starbucks! That makes a total of 4, that's right, 4 Starbucks right here in the Ridge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
