“The spaces around us reflect the spaces inside us, and when those things don’t go together, that’s how we know we need to make a change.â€

“The restaurants are very different, by asking which you like. The restaurants are very different, Mimi’s is pretty simple and BYOB while Frannie’s has a bar. Some people go to Mimi’s because they really love the pie but it’s better to go to Frannie’s if you have someone in your family who is a picky eater or vegetarian because they will be able to find something that isn’t chicken. Chicken Frannie’s has fried mozzarella and cheesecake.â€
