I was introduced to City Cafe by a colleague who owns her own firm. City Cafe resides along the Liberty Avenue strip across from The August Wilson Center. I am impressed by this man's, a small business owner, attitude. He made us great omelets at 1:30 pm. We were the only folks there for a late lunch. We were able to chat in peace at a quaint bistro table with two large cups of coffee. 100% vegetarian, my colleague asked for an egg white-only omelet, to which the owner (who was also the cook and waiter) granted her wish. He has been in this space for 17 months with roughly 19 more to go. That means, yes, he will most likely retire in under 2 years. With no website, I love that you have to 'stumble upon' this joint. I am not sure how he would handle a Pamela's or Eat'n'Park type rush, but that is the magic of the place. You feel like you are at his home enjoying QUALITY food. He seems to take life one day at a time. Oh, and he bikes from his Point Breeze home to work. #inspiration #yum
