Here are two Café -Restaurants introduced to me first by my sweet friend, Aaron. I went to both and I am a fan now. Unfortunately for me one of the places is far away in California; but fortunately the other one is just 10 min drive from my house.
If you live around San Francisco bay area you have probably heard of Chez Panisse restaurant and café. The café was founded by Alice Waters & her partners in 1971 and named after a character called Panisse in the trilogy play-movie of Marius, Fanny and Cesar. Chez Panisse is famous for its seasonal menu that changes every day and varies based on the availability of ingredients on that season. It has a Café for lunch and a Restaurant for dinner. It is very hard to find a spot for dinner without reservation and you should reserve it way a head of time. For lunch the space is more available but it never hurts to reserve your table. I was there on November 30th; Persimmon’s touch made that day’s menu very colorful. Chez Panisse is pricey, but it’s worth trying.
If you live around Princeton and enjoy café atmosphere, Fedora Café welcomes you. Fedora is a small magically decorated café and very family friendly. Its Harry Pottery look – when I said magically decorated I meant it – makes you hungry. For working though, if you like to work in coffee shops as I do, is not that good. You can read a novel and enjoy your lunch but I’ve never seen anyone working there especially with a laptop. Fedora is located at 2633 Main Street, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648. You can call them at (609-895-0844) they are very responsive. you can read another review for Fedora here.

I was surfing through the archives of both your blogs. I must say that the idea of putting different recipes in here like the way you did is really interesting. I enjoy the atmosphere of your another blog (Tameshk) A LOT as well.
keep on blogging dear Roja.
:-).
Dearest Behi
I am so glad to hear you like them both ;D
