Broad Street Cafe
We visited Broad Street Cafe to see how friendly it is for kid play. The play area is separated, so there is no worry that kids are making too much noise for the laptoppers (there is free wireless there). To play, they have a trains table, hot wheels, lots of wooden puzzles, books, coloring books and crayons, and a big collection of Rescue Heroes. Comfy couch and coffee for mama, and this gets two thumbs up!
Someone this afternoon asked me if we had been to the Broad Street Cafe Sunday evening events for kids, so we’ll have to check those out, too.

Folks may know that the Broad Street Cafe has changed hands several times in the last year, but it now looks like it’s with its most capable owner. Jonathan Tagg has had the place since November and is very much dedicated to the ideal of a “third place” (i.e., some place that isn’t work/school or home) as a place for community, creativity, and fun.
See here for my blog on same:

[And thanks for the link!]
Oh, thanks for more info! I hope it will stay around now. It is a comfy third place.
Glad to have your link! :)
