If you hear an explosion, without a doubt it’s from the Liberty Village area!
I just had the best Chicken Pesto Flatbread and Goat Cheese Salad with Marj, at No Regrets lounge… My favorite café in the area… Thank god my break was not long enough; otherwise, I would have gone for the second order!
If you are in the area, don’t miss on them or you will regret it!
Personal regards,
Shadan
