From David Sedaris (on the election), courtesy of Frankintosh:
"To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. ‘Can I interest you in the chicken?’ she asks. ‘Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?’ To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."

Support Angeli Caffe
Because they support us.
From owner Evan Kleiman: "Scary times call for compassion and generosity. Until we get a better handle on our economy I'm offering a 15% discount on in-house, take out and delivery Tuesday through Thursday, Friday lunch and Sunday. Discount does not include beer, wine, special dinners and events. It cannot be combined with any other discounts. Discount not available on Friday or Saturday nights. Please remember to tip on the original amount. Servers are struggling too. And please continue to support your locally owned restaurants and farmers markets. We can only get through this if we help each other out."
Where I work, we order from Angeli (7274 Melrose Ave.) all the time, and I can vouch - their food is awesome.
