Actual Cafe makes me jealous I don’t live in the neighborhood.  It’s a nice, comfortable space with free wi-fi, and I would probably be there all the time if I lived closer.  When I stopped by for a snack, I had a flaky El Porteno empanada and house made pickled veggies with a kick.  They’re having a “Grand-Openy Kinda Shindig” with drinks, snacks, music and their first art show.
