[Membroj] Esperanto Cafe in the Village

[Jed Meltzer]

I've been to the Esperanto Cafe.  Cool as it is, it's just a name.  When I went there (several years ago) with a bunch of Esperantists, none of the staff had any idea what the name even meant.  On the other hand, on the same trip, we were speaking E-o in a Dunkin Donuts in Jersey City and this guy came up to us and started conversing with us.  He had learned E-o in his native Mexico.  That's the only time in my life something like that has happened.  I'm curious if anyone else has had such an experience?

Still, I like the Esperanto Cafe, since it is right across the street from a bar called Banjo Jim's.  As an E-o speaking banjo player, that spot is my Shangri La.
