Everyone has an opinion about hot chocolate. You might think you don’t have a ‘thing’ for hot chocolate, but you still probably have something you would say is your ideal. The way it ‘should’ be.

Forward Avenue has a lot of character with its funky little stretch of shops. There is the movie theater, where you to think that Terminator 2 must be playing in the next theater over until you realize its just people bowling in the upstairs alley. Then there is Pizza Amier, who now refuses to deliver to my friends who live up very many stairs…because of the stairs. There is that crazy real estate building that is entirely covered in a dark wood façade made of diagonally placed slats, and which has a forest of houseplants covering all the windows in the place. A European grocer, a funky antique store, the apartment building with the pointy screened-in porch….Forward Ave is a veritable sketchbook of genius. With this as the landscape you’d think it would be tough to fit in, but Tango Café just adds to the charm. (more…)
