Hello, little. Lived the real deal on a cattle farm just outside Dallas, Texas, for four weeks, november 2006.

Teresa’s Gourmet Café. This Polish coffee shop used to be located in the East village neighbourhood in Manhattan, NYC, at First Ave/6th street back in 2006. I had a delicious omelette there. Apparently, the venue is now closed.
