Sorry for the delay...

I wish I had better news, but we are still looking for a place to rent to open our café.  We are definitely happy we didn't get into the other place, but it has been stressful to think of the things we would have faced if we had sign with them.  On the other hand, there are a couple of places that are actually better, with better locations...  We just need to find that place that matches our budget and allow us to do what we want.

In the meantime, summer is hot in NYC, and one early morning I got some nice view... my AC was not working and getting out was the best thing I did...
