“”..here you’ll probably get to hear some original or new music, will more than likely get into a convo with an artist/musician/photographer who’s working in the studios, and will no doubt be introduced to a Crystal Palace local with tales to tell…””

- The Café Thing is kindly mentioned in this month's Transmitter Magazine and they've pretty much nailed it on the head! Grab your copy of the mag from all good local shops!

Venezuelan Restaurant

Had lunch, for the first time, in the Venezuelan Restaurant  on Westow Street today...really good food, very nice people. I'd recommend giving it a go, pretty reasonable too at just over a fiver. And...it kinda feels like your not in CP.
