Learn how you can support local business by watching a special screening of the documentary “Viva Les Amis” at The Garden Cafe on Friday, May 24.
The documentary follows three decades of Les Amis Cafe, an eclectic sidewalk cafe in Austin, Texas, that is eventually replaced by a Starbucks. The manager of Les Amis, Newman Stribling, interviews former customers and staff and explores how his cafe, and other mom and pop shops across the nation can stay afloat as cities grow.
