Merchants Cafe

Today, Merchants Cafe celebrated their 120th anniversary. Not many restaurants make it to this milestone. They had been celebrating the entire weekend and some.










There were a few people in there who came in for the first time. There were some who seemed like they've been there forever.











Just in case you didn't want to take my word for it, here's a little banner.












The manager was making a few remarks and the musician had asked the crowd if they were properly caffeinated. And they all looked at each other and said, 'Caffeinated?' as in they were drinking something, but not coffee. So, I came up with a new word: beerinated. So, the lunch crowd wasn't properly caffeinated. They were properly beerinated.













Here is the live musician singing Sheryl Crow's 'Strong Enough,' and some of her original compositions, one about Seattle and a few probably about her exes.











Here's Frank, the owner, holding the Mayor's Proclamation that says today is Merchants Cafe Day. The young woman next to him dresses that way all the time.
















I had a burger and fries and one of the cookies that young woman gave me. There must have been something in that cookie because I sure would like another one. Or maybe it was the fries . . .
