OMG – Its September 30…no Its October 2^nd – What happened?!

Can’t believe a month has flown by since we opened the doors. We have been scooped up in a whirlwind of running around, cooking the yummy food, fixing minor crises, smiling, and doing everything possible to make Mojito come alive in the New Hope community.

 Boy has it been fun!

Let me start by first saying this:  New Hope people are really really unique in so many ways but all share one common factor – they all have huge hearts! People have stopped by and brought gifts, given suggestions, told us some of the ins and outs of doing business in New Hope (Politically , emotionally, locally: who knew there were so many elements of being a New Hopian.) 

We found out that doggies have a place in the hearts of so many and do we are now canine friendly!

We have had the opportunity to host Father Robert from Lambertville, St John the Evangelist Church, to stroll by our place, stop in and give a good Blessing to the restaurant and all that visit and dine here. The accolades go on and on and we are so humbled, thankful and blessed.

We have also found out about the closeness of the community and the many aspects of being a…”Local”. Before we opened, we heard so much about this elite mysterious group. Now that we're up and running, I’m dying to meet every one of them. To get the locals to cherish your place – you are bound to survive, to win to thrive. So – my new mission is to track down each and every one of local neighbors and introduce them to Mojito and our family.

I want to hear how you became planted here and what brought you to this area. Maybe your roots go back generations: some stemming from our forefathers. (Maybe some of hung out with George (Washington!- hey it could be true!). I want to hear your stories. It would be great to learn the local history that goes beyond the tour books-  the individual and family stories that make a place home. So come by and we can swap war stories, (ours mostly involve beans and zoning boards), this is how friendships begin and last.

  I look forward to having many friends in New Hope. Sitting on the patio, sipping some libations or enjoying a twilight café Cuban, smoking cohibas and  talking about Batista and Benjamin Perry – ahhhh, yes many good times ahead.

Oh – got to go, need to stir the beans.

Thanks for reading and we hope to see you soon!
