    Now that the multi-millionares lost something precious to them (Cafe Des Artistes) maybe they will start trying to financially help New Yorkers who care about preservation
    of small unique businesses.

    Very sad about the Cafe des Artistes . . . I wonder where that lovely old woman who sat at the bar every night will go now.
