I love this place so I am really sad to report what I just learned, but I think that people should know: I've heard from a reliable source, who has witnessed this first-hand, that Candle 79 & Cafe use GLUE TRAPS to deal with their rodent issues. This has got to be one of the most inhumane way... Read More

Frank "the Maverick" Bruni throws us for a loop this week with a review for a vegan restaurant Candle 79. It's hard to say why Franktastic thinks now is the time to give "vegan cuisine its due", but the wheat gluten, the brown rice and beans earn a solid one star: "Can an ex... Read More
