August 11, 2011 (Midtown Tap & Tea Room)

Tonight was my first visit to the Midtown Tap and Tea Room at 289 New Scotland Avenue in Albany and if you haven’t yet visited, you are missing out a great coffeehouse which also has a full bar and serves a full menu.  Now this diet coke girl doesn’t drink coffee but the atmosphere was so charming and relaxing, I am definitely suggesting this as a spot for a relaxing cup. There were several people sitting at the tables with their fingers flying along the keys of their laptops but they still seemed to be enjoying the atmosphere at the same time. 
I was meeting with my friends Peter and Norman to discuss our Wishaphant project which begins with a children’s book, “The Mysterious Lunch at Hope Street Elementary” written by Dr. Peter DeWitt.  The book focuses on healthy choices for children and we would love for you to check out our project at www.wishaphants.com to learn more.  If you have children, we have added a few activity pages to our site that we encourage parents to print and use to create a dialogue with their children to discuss healthy eating and choices.  With childhood obesity being a leading concern, it is the goal of our group to bring these books to children at no cost in order to increase awareness about healthy living and choices.
