Hola, señora Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? !

Funny, in Germany it's called The Lion's Den.

Yes, it was a Greek restaurant called Stamatis on 29-09 23rd Avenue in Astoria / Queens.

You're right about the bakery. Of course, it was research.

But write that character into your story. Just as I am in NYC and you it as background, use the Falkland-Setting. It's surely impressive, nature-wise... and there ARE penguins down in the Southern tip of Argentina / Chile. I've once seen a doc on penguins on the Falklands... I think.

So not too weird a story point.
