Metro Café and Lounge had their opening party Friday night and will be adding a new beat to City Market. I went over on Saturday and became an instant fan when I walked in. The owner, Mauro, has set up a hip and comfortable lounge that is perfect for a glass of wine or a casual cocktail. You can take a seat at the bar, grab a table or relax on some of the couches. Metro will play house music during its parties and on some weekends host fashion shows, wine tastings, and other local events. If you are craving something outside of the beer realm, make sure to give Metro a try for a coffee or a good wine. For all you First Friday-ers, make a stop at Metro this week and check it out.

Now we need tenants for the old Greenshield’s location. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck after they divide the space. Any news on that?
Nothing yet from what I have heard. When I was over there I noticed signs making it pretty clear that the space is available. Time will only tell.
Is this the spot that used to be Tony’s? Looks awfully familiar, but well appointed now.
