Round Museum

The walls of Eastern State Penitentiary are tall and imposing and yet a friendly purple puff ball stands vigil in the garden outside.

How can you ignore this tantalizing Round? Press, and run away! Just outside of Silk City Diner, this door bell is irresistible. Humans are a curious bunch, so no one would blame you if you reach out your hand and…ding-dong-ditch!

How can we find out more
Who owns the keyless door
Where does the circle end
Who are the unwatched men
Where do we go from here
Faith is a fading fear
Life is a waiting room
I hope they don't call me soon

How much more
do you really think you know
than a flower does about
who's behind the door?

Squirrels are collectors, and in their mad scurry to prepare for winter will gather and bury as many as 3,000 nuts and seeds into their personal museums. Their accessioning techniques are larder hoarding (burying in one or two locations), and scatter hoarding (splitting a collection across multiple locations) and they remember exactly where they stash the goods. When squirrels dream, it is of giant nuts laying in the open grass like bronze sculptures, too heavy to carry, too big to bury. Or is that a nightmare?

If you bake such a beautifully crusty Round, then let us break it together. We’ll bring the butter.

For the truly dedicated check-in craft beer nerd, is there any better way to display your most highly rated bottle selections than with a multi-sectional wall-mounted barrel shelf? All your favorites are arranged here. The malty sweetness of the Cuvée des Jacobins Rouge. The complex, intense and round flavor of the Rodenbach Oak Aged Belgian Ale. And who could overlook ol' Pliny the Elder hanging there? A juicy, citrus double IPA and seven time champ as America's Best Beer? Take one down and pass it around!

With the frothy head and the caramel-brown color, your morning cup has the appearance of a steaming hot coffee latte, but it's not! This "golden latte" is made with ground turmeric and ginger that has been steeped for a period of time in milk. The spicy, slightly sweet beverage is also called "golden milk" and can be made with coconut milk or other non-dairy substitutes.

The milestones in life are marked through significant events or with nice round numbers. A baby is born one day, and soon is one month, then one year old. Very quickly that baby is a teenager, driving a car, graduating high school, college, and a quarter century has flown by! Cut the cake!
