OK, anything Huck recommends....You HAVE to go and try it. I completely trust my friend Huck and so should you.

I have not been to Buvette Gastroteque, but honestly, I will get there. I trust Huck that much.

So go and check it out. Take a million pictures and send them to me. It sounds like a great place and I thank Huck so much for finding, yet again, another amazing place to dine and enjoy life.

Not sure what to say except this was my favorite cafe in BHAM during college and during my3 years living there after teaching. The cafe  shares a space with Fairhaven Bookstore so the fact that I could indulge  in two of my favorite pastimes was a plus...smelling coffee, molasses cookies,  and print (text) -a book lover knows the sweet aroma of books=a piece of heaven. My favorite dishes included a garden salad with one of my favorite all-time dressing fat-free italianartichoke dressing ( i think i ordered  the salad just for the dressing), Mexican corn and bean soup, and molasses cookies the size of a small serving plate! :-) Thank you so much Jennifer. That was perfect! We love getting other people's favorite cafes!  You're the best! Next time you're home, stop in and take a photo, we'd love to display it here.  Many Thanks

 Tea and Sympathy
Address: 108 Greenwich Avenue in the West Village 
Tele: 212 989 9735
Hours: Monday - Friday 11:30am to 10:30 pm
Saturday and Sunday from 9:30am to 10:30 pm 


This week's entry is brought to you from our wonderfully English contributor, Huck.

Huck says, "So Tea and Sympathy is the teeny tiny [8 tables ?]predecessor to A Salt and Battery on Greenwich Ave. in NY. Been there since mid 80s, owned and run by the fab Nikki-eccentric and brusque no nonsense brit gal.

They serve all the usual teatime stuff of course and also proper English food too-bangers n mash, shepherds pie, bubble n squeak, roast beef and yorkshire pud, etc etc. It,s ALWAYS packed out and quite the meeting spot in the village.

Since I don't have photos of Tea and Sympathy, I added this book.

 Huck is a well-traveled Englishman who has spent quite a bit of time in NYC. As he can be found nearly every morning and every late afternoon in a coffee/tea shop enjoying his Earl Gray or Morning Breakfast tea. You would be correct in assuming that he knows a thing or two about cafes/coffee and tea houses."


Take a look at their website and their menu. It seems oh so fun. I know next time I'm in NYC, I will check it out and add tons of photos here.

Thanks again Huck, You're www.myfavoritecafe 's number one contributor.....thus far.

Cheers

Cafe 225, Visalia, CA

Name: Cafe 225
Address: 225 W Main St

Guest Contributor: Becky

Guest Contributor Becky enjoys a great meal. Thanks Becky!

The town of Visalia is located just off Hwy 99, along Hwy 198 on the way to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park Fresno and Bakersfield). Downtown Visalia has received a lot of support from the community over the years, so it's a thriving fun place to go walk, shop and eat. Cafe 225 is a wonderful little restaurant just across the street from the historic Fox Theater (http://www.foxvisalia.org/). 

If you're ever in the area and looking for something to do, you'd be hard pressed to find a better combination than dinner at Cafe 225 and a night at the theater. Our favorite place to sit and eat is at the bar, where you get great service and can watch people of all ages coming and going through the restaurant and on the street. 

Thanks to Scott for giving me a chance to share this great spot! 

Thank you Becky for this entry. If you check out the website, this looks like a really fun and quite upscale place. Check it out and let us know here at www.myfavoritecafes.com.


We'd love to get some pictures of you and your loved ones enjoying a meal at Cafe225.


Thanks again Becky!

10 Corso Como, Milan, Italy

Courtyard of 10Corso Como in Milan, Italy

Name: 10 Corso Como

Milan, Italy

Website: http://www.10corsocomo.com

Guest Contributor: Huck

Here's a pic of the cafe at 10 Corso Como in Milan. It's part of this terribly swish shop [called just 10 Corso Como] that sells ridiculously fashionable clothes and objects, owned by the sister of the editor in chief of Italian Vogue-and it's the best people watching spot. 

The cobbled courtyard cafe is between the street and the entrance so everyone going in and out has to pass through it, so it's molto good theatre!

Cheers
