Spotkanie w Pracowni u Czarownic

29 marca 2012 r. odbyło się czwarte wydarzenie w ramach projektu „Senior w Lokalu". Tego dnia grupa seniorek spotkała się w kawiarni „Pracownia u Czarownic" przy ul. Promenada 2, w mokotowskim parku Morskie Oko. Lokal prowadzony jest przez przemiłe panie wywodzące się z rodziny o cukierniczych tradycjach. Podczas poczęstunku, który składał się z rozgrzewającej „herbaty czarownic" oraz zestawu mini ciast, seniorki wysłuchały opowieści o tradycjach warszawskiego cukiernictwa. Dowiedziały się, jak powstawały i zmieniały się warszawskie kawiarnie, jakie zasady panowały wśród ich pracowników i uczących się młodych przyszłych cukierników, a także posłuchać ciekawostek z życia przedwojennych i powojennych kawiarni.
