Happy One Year Around Town Anniversary Cool-de-Sac! Three in the race
BY LEE STEPHENS
ool-de-sac restaurant and children’s entertainment center like no other celebrated it’s first year in business with an adults only soiree at their location in The Shops of Sunset Place. The “play café” is the first of it’s kind and launching the concept in today’s economic environment was a gusty move on the part of Jose Luis Buenos,
C
the owner and creative director behind the operation. One year and 280 birthday parties later his faith paid off. The concept is successful and a new Cool-de-sac will open later this year at Dolphin Mall. Their mission was not to build a place just for kids, but to build a cool place for parents and kids.
