Springtime at 4th Avenue Spring Street Fair

More info at www.fourthavenue.org. And have you locked your love (with a genuine lock) on one of the 5 new HeART shaped sculptures around 4th Avenue? That Valentine’s event proved to be very popular. Check them out during the 3 day spring street fair.

Old World charm at new The Coronet cafe

Sitting on the corner of Tucson, Arizona… at The Coronet café , on the SE corner of 4th Avenue and E. 9th Street.

It’s a lovely new restaurant (just opened on Palm Sunday, April, 13, 2014 at 402 E. 9th St.), with a lot of European charm. Almost makes you think you’re in Paris or the Provence.Coronetlogo

I stopped by for lunch this week and ate on their charming outdoor patio which seats 44 people.  The choices are online at the website, and I chose a Leafy green salad (with roasted tomato & garlic, cucumbers with lemon oil) and a cup of the day’s soup (meatball & lentil).  Both were delicious  and refreshing. The soup came with carrots/onions/spinach as well, with Sumac pita bread slices, and the salad was fresh and tasty, with a refined tomato taste.  They also offer Tartines and a Ploughman’s lunch, with other salad choices.
