    I thought it would be an interesting exercise to compile a headcount on businesses that have opened since the recession has taken a grip of the City.

    Good location, right in between Charlie's/Bailey/Icon/Angel Lane/Molly's/Trooms etc. Should do well if it's promoted right.

    Going under the same name of the last cafe there, Aroma. Same sign above the door and same "celtic tiger era" rip off prices too. E3.50 for a hot chocolate in there! :eek: I can go across the road to French's Cafe and get the same size for E2.50.

    E2.90 gets you a great hot chocolate in the moody cow - they melt a full bar of choc (whichever one you choose) and they also give you marshmallows, cream and a flake on top. My favourite is Terry's choc orange!! :)

    I reckon its a polish thing, although it makes no sense as most of them got smart and went elsewhere. Was in poland there last year and there's kebab shops all over the place. We went down this massive street and there was at least 20 of them.

    There's another one opening on Denmark street just beside The Old Quarter Hotel. Woody had his Eden Park shop there for a while and there was a few ladies clothes shops there on and off as well. Be handy for those leaving Nancy's and D'Icon at night.
