Vineyard Cafe: Our First Customers

After the chaos of my 30th birthday party on Saturday (when unfortunately I was too busy to pick up my camera, so no pics :( ), we had a calmer few days afterwards as we got used to being sort-of-almost-but-not-yet-officially open. Managed to find the time to snap a few pics of our first real customers, which admittedly were mostly our friends but it was great for the show of support. Thanks guys.

This post first appeared on the Vineyard Cafe blog on 9 August 2006. Vineyard Cafe was the restaurant I opened in a Beijing hutong in 2006 with Will and Xuduan, and while we built it we kept a blog and a weekly photo album of our progress. The blog is long gone, so I have brought it back here. See the whole Vineyard Cafe story.
