Free postcards

My mother was visiting us these past few days (she gets top billing as a loyal reader), and one night we went to a restaurant that for me has over the past couple of years illustrated just how eclectic Moscow can be. When we moved here, it was called "The Great Canadian Bagel," and they did serve bagels & cream cheese, along with a relatively complete menu and full bar service, all open 24 hours a day. Google has once again revealed its powers to me by just now enlightening me on the fact that this is actually a Canadian franchise operation. At some point maybe a year or so ago (I don't remember for sure) it became "No Name Cafe," now serving sushi instead of bagels, but still with a complete menu of European cuisine and desserts, and still open 24 hours a day. The takeout sushi has become a favorite of ours because of the location directly on my walk home from work.
