Neighborhood Coffee

One of our favorite things to do on our day off is to walk down to the corner of w110 and Detroit. There you find a typically European cafe, Eagle's Kafe.

It is usually filled with Albanian men sitting around talking and drinking coffee. It's welcoming, relaxed, and has great pricing. Want something sweet? There is usually a slice of Tiramisu in the case.

Sadly, we were the only ones dining there, but it was cool to feel like you had an entire restaurant to yourself. They served an amusement bouche to start and our steaks were cooked perfectly.

We sat at the bar and had a great conversation with the bartender. We decided to explore further and took our drinks in to ...

Let's start with the food festival....such a great idea. We signed up for the ticket and tastings. We got 3 tastings and 2 drinks each. Food was phenomenal and it was a great way to try a new restaurant. Among the amazing restaurants we're Adega, Edwin's, Fire, Burtwood Tavern, Zach Bruell, Pura Vida, and so many more. There were also vendors sharing tastes of beer jam, charcuterie, and snacks. Three tastes was plenty of food and we got to sit on the grass watching some fun bands! Walking to our car, which we parked for free on a Saturday downtown, we stopped at Noble Brewing for a drink and to watch the Indians game. Noble is a fun place to hang out with a group. We did not eat, but I've had food here before and it is pretty solid. That night we had tic...
