Cafe Lola
The smoky scent of espresso wafts through Cafe Lola’s sunlit space as its patrons recline in leather armchairs or nibble salads, sandwiches, and hearty breakfast fare. Freshly cut sweet-potato fries accompany sandwiches and paninis, and forks dive into veggie-scapes of salad tossed in house-made dressing. Early risers can savor breakfast paninis and omelets, kicking neurons into action with selections from a gourmet espresso bar. When the weather turns balmy, café loungers can migrate to outdoor seating to enjoy gentle breezes and engage in photosynthesis.
According to Plum-Oakmont Patch contributor Mia Feinberg, the café was spearheaded by Fox’s Pizza owner Jim Fox and his wife Deana, who decided to stamp their new endeavor with the name of their 2-year-old daughter. Feinberg also captures the café’s eclectic décor, characterized by oversize cutlery mounted on the wall and mint-colored wallpaper with inky designs that evoke a Victorian aesthetic.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Privacy
Someday, we'll live in a society where everyone knows everything about everyone else—eliminating the need for privacy and clothing—but until then, we must hoard our personal details to keep them secret from prying eyes. Keep all of your life's details to yourself with this exhaustive guide:
• Throw away all of your important documents, including your birth certificate, social-security card, age-verification CD-ROM, high-school-yearbook fingerprints, food wrappers, and credit-card-statement-singing greeting cards. The closer these documents are to you, the more easily you can be tied to your own awful identity.
• Never post your opinions on the Internet, where anyone could read them and steal them to use in a hit novelty rap. Instead, write each of your thoughts on Post-it notes and shove them all down your toilet's water hole with a long stick (don’t touch the water with your hands).
• Nail your windows shut, and smear them with mud to keep nosy neighbors from seeing your dog naked and reading your magnet poetry.
• Financial documents, such as bank statements and paper money, are too easy to lose. Instead of carrying these items around, make photocopies of them and keep copies at work, at home, in your car, and in your child’s backpack.
