secret wishes & real-life dreams.

So I have a little dream. One day I'd love to manage a little cafe, top floor of some old-ish downtown building in some small-ish city, with a patio open to the skyline and the night, maybe a live jazz band or cellist coming in every Saturday night or so, with a vine-covered trellis roof to cover the patio section and white curtains to separate it from the indoors. There would be a wood floor, and an almost-narrow staircase you'd have to climb to get from the hostess to the dining area; and I'd hire some new chef who needed room to make mistakes and take risks and just have fun creating, and we'd serve the freshest ingredients and the most fragrant teas and the most expertly-crafted coffees. And it would be so much hard work every day and every night--but it would be amazing.
I'm not majoring in Culinary Arts or Business Management though, so somehow I doubt this is the dream I'll end up realizing. But I'm pretty okay with that, because I've already found an amazing spot to study & make dreams & laugh with people I love.
Hepburn's is absolutely the best restaurant/cafe I have come across in the Macomb/Oakland counties area. They've fallen in love with the brilliant idea that is European crepes--true crepes--and made it available to the variety-starved appetites of us Michiganders...and for that, I can't thank them enough. But as if the food weren't fresh and wildly good and beautiful enough to keep me going back to try every item on the menu, they made their cafe the cutest little place you could imagine--especially if you adore classic movies. There's art of Audrey Hepburn everywhere--plaques and cookies and a dressing room screen and portraits and quotations showing off her little black dress and long gloves and unmistakable silhouette. Screenshots of classic movies cover the walls; the bathrooms say "Actress" and "Actor"; and the manager/former ballerina, Deanna Birg (who is lovely in her own right), is always ready to greet you with a smile and ask about your life.
Can you tell I'm completely hooked?
Go discover something brilliant and beautiful at Hepburn's Cafe. I think you might just love it.
