After grabbing grub on the streets in fast food places, we did the cafe thing; nothing fancy - just fun. I had a creme de menthe with water like the locals.
We were seated as requested inside the glass partition (which costs less than a table on the sidewalk) and watched people go by. Basically we had grinders. And so delicious! We shared condiments and it was soul food! Surely not four stars but still fun and good.
The nature of the place was like an ongoing dessert. Its central location was vital. The service was good. It was a fun, tasty, and relaxing event.
