Café Photo of the Week is published every Wednesday, and showcases photography from our staff, contributors, and readers.

Before & (Happily Ever) After, by Lisa Anselmo

Colorful “happy hours” signage, captured during confinement. Today, this terrace is filled with customers once again, making these truly happy hours en terrasse. We take these hand-lettered signs for granted, but they add so much to the café experience. In a Café Photo of the Week first, we offer a bonus image of the same terrace, taken from a post-confinement perspective. Before and (happily ever) after.

L’Avenue Café, 19 Avenue Philippe-Auguste , 11ème
