I was strolling through St. Marks last week, and shot this wall sign while I was there.

I’ve had the opportunity to speak to Yaffa, an absolutely amazing Israeli woman, on several occasions.
During the aftermath of 9/11 she sent free food non-stop down to the restaurant workers.
Her personal creed; “I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs. I pay my bills.”
I’ll be entertaining on Thursday, and we’ll be going to Yaffa’s place down on Harrison Street.
It’s actually two places in one - a restaurant and tea room.
Here’s a review
Read this one too; it’s a collection of reviews from people who’ve been there.
I’m a fan of the food, decor and Yaffa.
