HOW IT ALL BEGAN

   The Lost Dog Café was started by a couple of displaced East Village “Café Junkies”.  While Binghamton, NY is a beautiful place to live, there was one thing we found conspicuously missing: a place with an unassuming comfortable atmosphere where you could hang out, drink good coffee, and eat interesting foods.  Henceforth, we bring you “Lost Dog Café/Coffeehouse”.

   Our food is prepared with vegetable stock (no MSG, no chemicals) and made to order with fresh ingredients.

   The original Lost Dog Café, located in an old garage at 60 Main Street in Binghamton, was started on a “shoestring” budget with the love of good food, good people, and a strong sense of community as inspiration.  We have grown in size but our original intention remains the same.  Salut!

ABOUT CLARESE

   There once was (and still is) a dog named Clarese.  Weighs in at 3 ½ lbs. with enormous, sincere, watery eyes as dark as... well, dark.  A Jersey Girl, she pounds down watery scotch with the best of ‘em.  With her trademark rhinestone collar and tongue surreptitiously presenting itself and disappearing into canine abyss.  Only other Chihuahuas understand.

   Clarese has expensive and dangerous habits.  She vanishes.  Search parties form.  Reward signs are posted.  Phone calls-tips on sightings of Clarese are received from lots of people with nothing to do and all day to do it in.

   One tenacious fellow named Sid exhausted every possibility trying to round up wayward Clarese.  Porterhouse steak?  She shrugged and said she’s a vegetarian.  New bone?  Hurts her teeth.  She’s not a spring chicken, after all.  She’s cheated the grim reaper (you know, speeding cars) countless times.

   Clarese has come home.  She is a “found” dog.  But something tells us she will always remain lost.
