Manny's

My favourite hangout in Stone town is Manny's coffee shop.

Its not actually called Manny's coffee shop. It's just a coffee shop run by a guy named Manny. Its also not really a shop. Its more of a wooden bench, but its a really nice place to sit and have a drink and I think Manny's coffee shop makes its sound more impressive than Manny's wooden bench. So that's why I call it Manny's coffee shop.

I'm not really sure if Manny's name is Manny, but he seems like a Manny. So I call him Manny. He hasn't corrected me yet.

You can find Manny's coffee shop in the heart of stone town in a place called Professor's Square. If you believe the signs, Professor's Square is actually called Jaw's Corner but I prefer to call it Professor's Square because it is squarish and there are lots of pictures - political campaign posters I think - of a man named Professor Lipumba. The posters don't say what he is a professor of but I think he is definitely a professor of either agriculture or macroeconomics.
