Dekko Cafe Debuts

As you might've observed, there are tons of new cafes, restaurants and bars that opened this fall in Astoria.  One major debut, which I noticed and read about is Dekko Cafe, open for about a month now.  Located in the old Zodiac Cafe space, which closed over a year ago, Dekko is a large, trendy cafe with some snazzy but not overdone decor and simple nosh food.  While I haven't yet tried it, it looks like a fun place to go to with friends, especially late-night.  I grabbed a menu to whet your appetite, and will report back with a full review soon.
