Have you ever fantasized about dining in Berlin in the 1920s? What about relaxing in a Munich Biergarten while sipping on a refreshing Hefeweizen? Perhaps a traditional German breakfast in a mountain village would be appropriate? We may not have the views, but we can save you money on airfare and provide you with a taste of Germany without having to travel. Come join us for dinner in one of our dining rooms designed in the style of the 1920s. Take advantage of the sunshine on our patio or come in for Sunday Brunch with us. You will always be welcomed with open arms at Café Berlin. Café Berlin has established itself as a Capitol Hill institution over the course of nearly three decades. Established in 1985 by two German-born friends who met while working at another local German restaurant, it has remained a popular gathering place for Congressional staffers, neighborhood friends, and tourists alike. Current owners Rico Glage and Clytie Roberts-Glage have maintained this status. Café Berlin boasts the best patio on the Hill, as well as traditional German dishes and seasonal menus made with ingredients sourced from the surrounding area. The late 1980s brought Irene Khashan from near Rothenburg ab de Tauber and Peggy Reed from Lübeck together. The two women became fast friends and decided to take on the challenge of establishing an authentic German restaurant on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. They were able to accomplish this initially without the assistance of any staff, as they did all of the cooking, cleaning, and serving themselves. Despite the fact that the neighborhood was close to the nation's capital, the neighbor at the time was not the best. Although the neighborhood was in the process of being revitalized, it remained a high-crime neighborhood. It went so far as to have a crematorium across the street, which necessitated wiping ash from the entire restaurant every morning before opening. Fast forward to 2007, when Rico Glage arrives from Germany to work for a year at Café Berlin, where Clytie Roberts accepts a position as a server after five years on Capitol Hill.

To be honest, the decision to revamp Vintage Glam's website and launch a blog came as something of a "welcomed" surprise to myself. I am not a good adapter to new situations (I have since learned through sharing that I am not the only one). I have closed Vintage Glam's boutique and stopped hosting on-site parties as of the date of this posting, which marks six months into COVID-19. These are three significant changes. What is a girl supposed to do in this situation? Ugh! In any case, I recall a really good friend of mine once asking, "Why do you think change is a bad thing?" (Thank you very much, Roseann. (I'm missing you!) Over the course of the last couple of months, I kept coming back to that question. I really wanted to feel like I had accomplished something by the time the pandemic ended. After that, I put the pint of ice cream and the bag of chips down and turned off the television, allowing myself to concentrate on the things I could do. I felt a sense of empowerment and accomplishment after completing this task. It was past time to make some changes to the website (old one was 6-years old and needed updating). I've always wanted to start a blog where I could share stories about parties, crafting, collecting, and other experiences with others. Additionally, the blog will provide me with an opportunity to stay in touch with my customers (many of whom have become friends) - and, to learn about your personal journey - what have you been up to lately? Please do not hesitate to share your thoughts.
