Time Moves So Fast

Time moves so fast. Capo is almost 10 years old. I now have a 15, a 13 and an 11 year old. Look at them there. They were annoyed to be stuck at Capo Midtown Village in the midst of construction. Bored and probably starving wandering behind the new bar which is protected with plastic during painting. Ages 6, 4 and 2. Wow. I am getting old. If it were not so sweet, I would have given up long ago.

Yesterday someone asked me if my daughter worked at one of our cafes. I know that I will have to address that issue soon. Our peeps, as wonderful as they are, are not a PG crowd and I believe that although they are gracious, they would not be appreciative if my kids worked there. I could be wrong. My daughter is hilarious, but who wants to work with the boss' daughter?

I used to carry around on my phone a pic of two of my employees. The pic was snapped at a party without their knowledge. These men looked as if they had been snatched from the early 70s and were clearly having a great time. Guitars in hand and shirts unbuttoned, skin tight jeans and heeled boots; they made you smile and wish you were there. Whenever a friend would ask if I could hire their high school aged kid, I pulled out the image. I then stated, "Sure, if you don't mind one of these two rubbing up the back of her...or him." That usually ended the conversation.

Additionally, I have watched some Capogirians get married and have their own kids. It is happy and sad and wonderful.

It's “CHO CO LAH TO” Conrad... but thanks for the AWESOME video!

We love Conrad and will forgive him for the ugly American accent. We love you! The Cioccolato Calda con Panna. Have you met it? Italian Hot Chocolate served with Fresh Whipped Cream. Uh, did you just get tingly all over? I sure did. Dark cacao plus sugar plus milk plus a secret ingredient (aside from love) makes an incredibly delicious, thick, chocolaty, sweet, and heavenly concoction.

The Cioccolato Calda con Panna is the ultimate warm-you-up drink.
Consume as you please. Sips or spoons may be used, and while you may
be tempted, we advise against plunging your face into the cup in eagerness.

The cooler weather is moving in. We'd love to say it’s not so, but we're not too worried. You can rest assured that your fingers, toes, and taste buds will be deliciously toasty. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm busy making googly love-eyes at my beverage.

Check out the video! Consider it a generous preview of a potential new
love in your life.

Hi there blog-ville

So this is our first attempt at this whole blog thing. Please... be gentle.

We just want to keep you guys up to date with things like our seasonal flavors of gelati and sorbetti, happenings in and around our hoods (did you know that our Passyunk café has a classic Italian movie night?!... Did you know we have a Passyunk café???) Did you know that MICHELLE OBAMA was at our 13th Street shop last Saturday? DUDE! Seriously... it was crazy. We've got the security camera feed but, we don't want to post it on youtube. We took a vote and decided it would make us look like creepers.

So, we've started a little blog to keep all you guys in the local loop.

AND we'd like to hear from yooooou. Our adoring fans and even our not so adoring fans.

Whats up, buttercup?
