café aubergine

This is probably my favorite café in Sunnyside, tied maybe with Café La Flor. 50th and Skillman. The awnings have faded a bit since the first time I went a couple of years ago, but the food is still good.

Today, the French Labor Authority approved my application for a work permit. The next step is for them to send my file to the French consulate in New York, where I'll be able to pick up my long-stay visa.

This photo is from the 6th arrondissement, taken during my last visit to Paris. The café in the center is called Les Deux Magots, where the likes of Sartre, Camus, Hemingway and Picasso (among others I'm sure) used to hang out. On the next corner to the left is Café de Flore, also very famous. By now, of course, these two cafés are pretty much just tourist traps, but still cool to see nonetheless.
