Brunch & Brain Fitness
Palestinian mezze breakfast. Chai. Coffee.
Then: chess, mahjong, sudoku, crosswords, or just a proper conversation.
No host or structured workshop, just a gathering. Show up, eat well, use your brain.
Space and activities are free to join. Food and drinks are paid at the counter.
