After visiting Lady Clara's BFF, Princess Nieema, the Huffsters had plans to go to a vegan cafe that we frequent. But, from where we were -- and with no bus in sight to venture some 20 minutes away -- we optetd to stay close to the C Train so that we could at least hop on it and head back home. We were headed to Sir Isaac's favorite french frie spot when he noticed a sign in a cafe's window that promoted Free Wifi.
Sir Isaac immediately stopped, tapped on the window -- getting the attention of the man sitting at the table near the window -- and shouted, "Do you have free Wifi?" The man shook his head up and down. Next thing I know, we were walking in. A gentleman was at the counter getting his order of homemade chilli. Did you say homemade chilli? Well, I was sold! I ordered a $4 bowl with some rice and got the children at chicken cutlas hero sandwich, along with some snapple drinks.
The man from the window -- who turned out to be the cafe's co-owner, Frank - set us up in the back of the recently opened soup and sandwich eatery. As Karen made our food and the children logged on for free Wifi, Frank and I conversed. I already knew in my mind -- based on my experience thus far -- that I'd be coming back to chill at my cousin's place. No, I didn't find out by chance that Frank and I are related. That's the name of the establishment. But, you know what? It feels like a family spot. We're chillin' like we're at a family member's house. And, that is refreshing. It's so important to find a place where you can dine in peace. And, for me... get a little (okay... A LOT) of work done on the laptop.
Oh, yes... My Cousin's Place is going to be a regular spot for my family. If you want try it out for yourself, come on down to: 100 Kingston Avenue, Brookly, NY (between Bergen St and Dean Street). Call them up at (718) 363-3111 to see what's on the menu as they try to serve three new soups a week.
Until I write you next... I'm just living the solo mommy life.
Love you!
