Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and join me at our own Algonquin Round Table, the spirit of Dorothy Parker abides.

Happy Sunday, dear friends! Happy October. Four weeks to Halloween so let the pumpkin spice flow. Don’t worry, it’s only an accent amongst our brunch offerings. A nice combination of savory and sweet this week and, of course, chilled champagne and coffee anyway you’d like it. There’s also a fair amount of popcorn to take home as we watch the Congressional follies during the Schumer Shutdown. There’s a Cafe pool going on what day it’s going to end, so be quick on picking a square. It’s been a week, right? Fill up your plate and your flute and let’s get to it. L’Chaim!
