Livingston Manor, NY – The wait is over. Your order is officially in! Café 43 has reopened.
As you first walk, in you are greeted in the welcoming atmosphere by Dawn Seeno, owner of the café. Seeno is a charming and bright woman that is always willing to put her customers first. Seeno first opened the restaurant in 2013, but had to close last year for renovations on the entire building at 43 Main Street. While the café was closed, Seeno spent time doing all sorts of home projects while waiting for the work to be finished.
Seeno did not intend to make many changes in her business upon reopening – nearly everything on her menu has stayed the same. It remains extensive, however, and is catered to fit anyone’s culinary needs with its choices kept fairly similar to her previous selections.
Even though the sparkling new space may be different, Seeno’s attitude towards her beloved customers has not altered. She said her favorite part of having the “luxury” to come back to work is her loyal customers.
“I have the most considerate and loyal customers ever,” she said. “Everyone came back as soon as we opened, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.”
Even though much time passed while Café 43 was undergoing renovations, Seeno’s passion for running the café has never been more inspired. Manor Ink sampled the restaurant’s excellent German Omelet, which includes green peppers, home fries, onions and bacon, all blended inside the entrée, and is served with a choice of bread.
Although Manor residents missed the café, they finally get to come back and enjoy the peaceful and charming new area along with their favorite meals. Customers dining at Café 43 are sure to have a lovely experience.
