Lanzetta’s Classic Barbershop

 When both Chef Mike and Big T look for a freshen up, their go to is Lanzetta’s Classic Barbershop.

Experience an old school encounter mingled with modern conveniences and historic charm. Located in the Waterway Plaza just  “over the bridge”. 

While walk-in’s are welcome, we highly recommend making an appointment.

Tam’s Tallow

Big T has been using tallow as part of his skin care routine for over a year and Tam’s Tallow is his go to choice.  Experience the enriching benefits of Organic, Non-Toxic, Grass-Fed Beef Tallow moisturizer. Tallow is rich in fatty acids, including oleic acid and stearic acid, which closely resemble the natural lipids found in human skin.

The fatty acids in beef tallow can support and strengthen the skin's natural barrier function, which can help protect against environmental irritants and reduce moisture loss.

  Chef Mike is now incorporating tallow as part of his beard care to hydrate the skin beneath the beard and the beard hair itself, preventing dryness and itchiness.  

Tam’s Tallow is locally owned by Chloe Tam and was created with love and a deep desire to heal. Visit Tam’s Tallow to read the loving story.

Deck84

Guests of The Bridge Café often ask us “where do you recommend going for a casual dinner and drinks?”

…Deck 84 is our answer.  Not only are they our “neighbor” on the Ave, but they are dog-friendly too.

This is a great place to enjoy refreshing cocktails, waterfront views and delicious food. You can often find Chef Mike and Big T there after a busy day at The Bridge Café for happy hour enjoying the blackened wings and smoked fish dip. While walk-ins are always welcomed, reservations are recommended.
