Your Basket :: Things To Do 4/19/2025

Inspired by Easter and Passover, here are two chocolate sources you must know about! Hudson Valley Magazine featured A Little Beacon Blog's feature of the new Lores Café's Viral Dubai Chocolate Croissant: "Lores Cafe Opens And The People Want The Dubai Chocolate Croissant With Kataifi Pistachio Cream." Thank you, HV Magazine! Beacon's Chocolate Studio has been busy making Coconut Macaroons, Matzah Crack, and Raspberry or Apricot Bars.

Not sure how this route is going to go. Additionally, there were several misspellings and grammar errors in the original description of this event at the Mobilize website. As longtime readers of ALBB know, ALBB also has errors, but we want to point these out, as we do not know who the organizers are. Also, ALBB does not recommend registering. Protesters do not need to register to any protest to attend.
