 This is my favorite time of the day, a time to reflect, time to plan and today I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I have a bunch of pieces of art that aren't finished. But as I made my second cup of coffee I decided to go out of the house and explore the new New Ken. Here to New Ken and I'm gonna go check to see if the neat cafe is open because I'd really like to get breakfast there. I've never eaten there before but they've done such a huge service to the community and they hire local people and if you can't afford to buy it you can pay what you can afford and they feed you. So it's pretty cool. Oh great it's open eight to one so before we go in there and have a bite to eat and sit on the back patio. I'm going to show you a little bit just here on this corner in Fifth Avenue how much has changed. So you have the neat cafe. You've got a new business next to the neat cafe which you can't see right now but UPNC built a new building. Across the street is an architectural salvage place that has harvested all these old things from the aluminum and steel industry. You've got a yoga studio, you've got a massage parlor, you've got an antique place, a coffee roaster, another cool building we don't know what it's going to go into and then you have the voodoo lounge which seems to be like the center of town right now and everything around it is just kind of changing. It definitely is a cool time here in UPNC. So this is Trovo Vintage which I am definitely going to come back to here in a minute but I need another cup of coffee first. So we're going to head over to the coffee shop and get me some fuel. What can I get for you? I would like an oatmeal platté please. I could sit in this chair for a thousand years and watch the woods consume the neighborhood, watch the ambitions come and go, surround me. We could ditch the TV and spend a little more time reading books and singing songs on the porch, sit here watching the daylight wane leaving little trees. I want to show you this roaster, check this out. Look at these bags of beans over here, they're huge! I'm literally in my glory. And fully caffeinated with my second latte. That's beautiful. I tell my sisters this all the time, they would walk in and smell the nuts roasting. I mean it was like everybody knew, we're going to G.C. Murphy's, you smell the Spanish, we need that roasting. Right, you go to the drug stores, they have encounters with the stools. Got your shoes, they bought millers, oh my gosh, I mean in hearts and the rins and crowns, I still have my engagement rins from crowns. I mean it's just beautiful. It's three different movie theaters. Yes. So yes, that's how busy we are. I've lived here all of my life, it's exciting to see New Kensington coming back into its own world actually. So I mean there's sweet shops, this coffee shop is amazing, I love it. There is sweet alchemy, I mean there is just so much made community cafe, which has the best food. And like before you just never came down here. So now, now we come down all the time, we have lunch at least once a week, I have coffee almost every day. Of course it helps if my daughter works there, but it is just amazing. So we're excited that New Kensington is, if not going to be back on the map at least in Arlington. All right, now that I got my coffee we're going to go check out the little antique mark and then we're going to go explore some more. But wait, what is that sign? There's a sign that says Sweet Tilly's there. When we're done with the market I'm going to have to go check that out. I need some sweets with my coffee. Good morning. This is really cute. How are you guys today? Good. This is a great store. What cool stuff. I love this. Look how heavy that is. We need a couple of these for the wall at the jail. Such unique stuff. Did you make these? That is really cool. I love that. Look at all this vintage stuff too. I want to bring this back. Look at that, it's got a tray. That's my kind of bird. We're going to head over to Sweet Tilly's. Hopefully get something sweet to eat. Look at this building on the corner. I can't wait to see what goes in here. They have two really cool garage doors on both sides. And I love that tile. This place is so cool. Good morning. How are you? I'm good, how are you? Very good. It's my first time in here. How cute is this? Thank you. Thank you. I love it. I heard you have some vegan stuff too, huh? I don't. The sweet alchemy is the best. They're the vegan. We're both over at the coffee shop. This is my all-time favorite dessert. I love baklava. I do the traditional of course. I also do the flavors. And I ship nationwide. You do? Wow. It's been really good. I opened in December. Yeah. I love this. This is super hard to make, isn't it? It's not hard. It's time consuming. How many? How many? Yeah. This is super fast. It's brittle, right? Yeah. But once you get the process in the pan, it's good. Yeah. Oh yeah. They look delicious. Yeah. That's your favorite? It might be. It is. Yeah. Very cool. So what do you got here? This is apricot ginger. And this is a chocolate hazelnut. Wow. I've only had the traditional kind. I've never. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be sending it home with the samples. Sounds good. So I just did a cheese cake. A chocolate cheese cake. Wow. I spent a lot of money last week. And it turned out well. Yeah. So it might be a standard flavor. So we'll see. We should get a box for dinner tonight. Okay. I'll take a box to go. Okay. And you tell me whatever you've got that you recommend. Okay. I have a box of, it's half, because I sell by the dozen. Okay. A half chocolate hazelnut and half apricot ginger. Well that was definitely worth it. So come with us and we're going to go check out the voodoo lounge over here in this giant mural that they have. One thing that I really love about it is he took the old original machinery from the aluminum smelting company and reused it in their outside venue part. So check it out. It's like an entire city block corner. And they went and redid the inside. They have all kind of really awesome unique architectural features. Here, let me show you. It's just like it finished melting in yesterday. It is so cool. There's like thousands of little foils all stuck together. And actually, my godfather worked at this plant right here. Come on over. I want to check out this mural. But what's such unique features over here? I love it. I need to set this down. These are big rolls that used to hold wire. I'm going to go this way because it's swampy. This is a really cute little fire pit. This is a pretty epic mural. They bring food trucks in here as well. So we need to come back to the Voodoo Brewery when it's open. Not too early. We're going to go to breakfast at the New Café next. We started the day knowing that we were going to come here. Finally, we're ready to go eat breakfast. And we're going to come here to the New Café. This is my first time eating here. Good morning. How are you? I'm good. I have to give you menus because we're starting a new menu. Oh, sounds great. Thank you so much. No, this is our first time. You're welcome. Thank you. Smells really good. Our portion is huge. Oh, the thing is huge. You don't know what it is. It's an omelet. It's supposed to be delicious. Thank you so much. Thank you. It's hot. So good. Perfect. This is a perfect meatloaf. Oh, this is so good. All my childhood memories just came back. All right. Well, I think we're going to leave it here. Thank you guys so much today for following us around. And if you haven't checked out New Kenya, you've got to get down here and check it out. So thanks again. Thanks, New Café. This is great. See you next time.
