Philly Dining: LUNA CAFE Interview with Proprietor Sarah Levine
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor One of the pleasures of running Tinsel & Tine is when I get to work from coffee shops… I just love to find a cute, cozy one and create a little office for a couple of hours. There’s something about having the energy of others around me, but not involved, that creates a pleasant work atmosphere. But when a coffee shop is actually a little cafe, I’m in heaven!
