Why the Hermitage Cafe?

"The Hermitage" means more to me than any other name because it was the name given to the small studio in which my inspirer, Khalil Gibran, lived. It is the small studio in Manhattan which witnessed Khalil Gibran's muses float all around him as they helped him create his immortal works with his pen and brush. Ironically, it is also the name of the place which he had chosen to be buried at. The resting place of Gibran is in the Hermitage of Saint Sarkis, at the foot of the mountain overlooking the Valley of the Saints in his homeland and birthplace Lebanon.Gibran's first dream was realized and he is now able to " hear in his eternal silence, inside the hermitage, the voice of the flute that colors the cheeks of the daisies in the field."
