Magic Carpet Kavehane
Barista Vente: Lord Commodore Robin McCauley
Located on the northwest corner of the Village Green, The Magic Carpet Kavehane (a notorious Inne of ill repute, frequented by Lay-Abowts and Bardes) is a Celtistani bardic coffee house which serves Turkish coffee and other vaguely Middle Eastern delights, all for the price of a song, a tune, a tale, or a dance.
The Magic Carpet will be open Friday night, from dark-thirty on, for early arrivals. It will reopen from (approximately) 11am to 4:30pm Saturday.
For a full description of the Magic Carpet, see this (external site).
