Event Description
Recently featured in Newsday!!
This Christian-centered cafe, which opened in March, exudes shabby chic with its white coffered ceiling and gold, pink and green leafy wallpaper trimmed with white wainscoting. The setting serves as a comfortable backdrop for weekly live acoustic music nights. Audience members can expect to hear contemporary and traditional Christian songs, original music and covers of standards by Bob Dylan while noshing on panini and scones. But what matters most to operations manager Marybeth Campbell is the family-friendly environment -- the walls are lined with inspirational and children's books, and games like Scrabble. "From the beginning, we envisioned it being a place where families could come and enjoy music and wonderful food," she says.

The Star Thrower Story!
Star Fish Book Cafe is named after the story of the young man throwing starfish back into the ocean:
adapted from The Star Thrower
by Loren Eiseley (1907 - 1977)
Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean. He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"
The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."
