Inside the cafe.

"A person in a hurry is like a key fitting only one thing."
      —Frederick Sommer
To escape into a literary café without going to London or Paris, just trek on over to Town House Café for one of our original home-made lunches. Portraits of authors line the walls and the conversation is as hearty as the food.
