Cafe BlogJuly 9th, 2008 Intrepid videographer Bill Muney sent in footage from last week's Ishtar and Dragonsong performance.
June 19th, 2008 Dear New Deal Cafe Members and Supporters, We finally obtained the final approval yesterday for the cafe's kitchen renovation. The kitchen construction is now OVER! Chef Karim is hiring/training the staff, ordering/preparing food for the full menu, and readying his operation. The board has been working with the music and events team to insure that the arts and music are an integral part of the new cafe experience. Two new art shows have been hung, and music is being phased in as staff become more comfortable with the details of the operation. Last night, the patio enclosure was installed which will allow the cafe to serve beer and wine on the patio. [New advertising line: "Everything tastes better outside!"] The cafe will open to the general public on Wednesday, June 25. Chef Karim will be open for members only to get an advance taste of the menu (regular prices) on Monday, June 23, 5pm - 9pm, and Tuesday, June 24, 11am - 4pm. Members are welcome to bring family or friends to the members only hours at the cafe. The only caveat is to bring some patience for the staff as they get up to speed. Hope to see you there! Bill Wilkerson June 4th, 2008 Roving photographer Bill Muney captured images from the 2008 Greenbelt Greenman Festival.
May 20th, 2008 "When Karim Kmaiha closed up his sandwich shop and bakery in Lebanon nearly 20 years ago in the midst of a civil war with hopes of finding stability and safety in the United States, he wasn't sure if he'd ever have his own business again. But in just two weeks the Rockville resident will see the rewards of his hard work as Greenbelt's New Deal Cafe reopens with Kmaiha as manager and head chef." Read the rest of Jenn Bogdan's interview with Chef Karim in The Sentinel! May 4th, 2008 Board President Peter May captured photos of volunteers installing the new range hood in the cafe's kitchen! Appearing in the photos are Greenbelt City Councilman Rodney Roberts, Chef Karim, Crazy Quilt Festival organizer Joe Harris, Greenbelters founder Andy Carruthers, and dedicated cafe board member Bill Wilkerson.
