Reading at Stacy's
Stacy's Coffee Parlor is an oasis of good cheer, comfortable sofas, passion, art, reality (as opposed to chain-coffee-shop alienation), sassy wait staff, toys, magnet poetry, really good cupcakes, conversation and camaraderie amid the enroaching strip-mall sprawl of the beleaguered city of Falls Church. I was a regular there, when we were stateside. After six months of fancy European cooking, I recently asked my kids what their favorite restaurant in the world was. Hands down: Stacy's.
So what better place to read some fiction to a caffeinated evening audience, when we're in Virginia for the kids' spring break?
7:00 pm
Stacy's Coffee Parlor
709 W Broad St (a.k.a Route 7)
Falls Church, VA
703-538-6266
Bus from West Falls Church metro: 28B.
See you there?
I'll try to make it.
Based on your write-up of Stacy's, it sounds as if it's a place I should try for dinner either before or after!

If you're fine with wraps, soup, pasta salad, bagels, baked goods, ice cream, etc., though, it's a lovely place to eat.
I am partial to the tuna-fish, salsa and cheese wrap myself. :-)
