Life Cafe 983

A magnet for artists....Here are more items from my storage room. All kinds of creative people were attracted to Life Cafe and the East Village. In 1989, a painter stood across the street from Life Cafe along Tompkins Square Park and painted this street scene from the corner of 10th St. and Ave. B. Indeed, you often saw artists painting in the streets, and still do. See more at http://lifecafe.com/2016/11/16/a-magnet-for-artists/

A few more nuggets of early Life Cafe dusted off from the storage room. See more at http://lifecafe.com/blog/

Here are some photos of two more items found in storage. These came from the Avenue B restroom of Life Cafe in the East Village. One is a metal mirror that I hung and the other is a piece hung by David Life, TRACKS. Both became full of grafitti over time. This was the last mirror I hung in that bathroom, because all the others got stolen. I guess it was just too heavy. See the story at http://lifecafe.com/blog/

Look what I found in storage. Real Life Cafe East Village artifacts. I'll be posting photos. Here's the first. The Brunch menu. Yum! What was your favorite?

Happy Holidays everyone. And we hope you have a very good New Year in 2016! Much love from Kathy Life and John

Happy Holidays everyone! To make sure you get off the New Year with a smile, here's a christmastime Menu Picture Riddle by John Sunderland, "Seasonal Pick" -- the clue came from the Life Cafe drinks menu where we listed what tap beers were on offer for the season. Cheers! (P.S. To get the full drawing, click on the image. I can't make Facebook make the image fit in the post properly.) www.lifecafe.com/blog

I have Google Alert working for mentions of Life Cafe. Personally, for awhile I'd been on a kind of high alert since the physical "death" of Life Cafe EV and 983. Imagine my surprise when a link to this came up! http://deathcafe.com. My take? Let life go on and let it go gloriously because eventually it ends. Long live Life Cafe.

Missing the black beans -- just added the recipe to final edit of "How Life Began". But how about that Mega Burrito (beans inside)? Oh, the pain of withdrawal!

CRAVING TAHINI DRESSING ON MY TONGUE -- It was a typical lovely late morning in the hills of Tarbena of the Costa Blanca, Spain. Lunchtime was around the corner and I had to prepare something. That's when it just hit me -- a sudden craving for steamed veggies, fresh greens, brown rice and the taste of Life Cafe's Tahini Dressing on my tongue. Read more at http://lifecafe.com/blog/
