Chris appears regularly here the first Thursday of every month.

This a come as you are place, and attracts a broad age range. The cafe is set up deli-style, with a great selection of food in a glass-cased display. You can get health-oriented stuff or plain, soul-satisfying, baddy food. Great selection of coffees and pastries (get yer java before 11pm).

The cafe is accompanied by a living-roomish bar area where the musicians play. The quartet is composed of smart, tasteful, hard-working students from SUNY Purchase music school: Lucas on guitar, Nick on acoustic bass, Conor on drums.

No cover charge, but they definitely deserve it!
