    Restaurant info

    Gulu Gulu Cafe is a bohemian outpost offering hard-to-come-by beer, coffee, and light fare. Marie Feldmannova and her husband, Steve Feldmann, named their quirky place after the cafe in Prague where they met. Recalling the inspiration drawn from that Prague Cafe, Feldmann notes, “When we first started out, I don’t think people knew what to make of us. We have music, but we aren’t a club, we have food, but we aren’t really a restaurant, and when people used to say ‘cafe,’ they would think Starbucks. We definitely aren’t Starbucks.” .. Gulu Gulu is more comparable to Hemingway’s Closerie des Lilas. – North Shore Magazine
