Luna Kafé
The Global Music Inn

Our menus consisted of musical dishes from many corners of the world, composed by our world wide web of contributors, presented every full moon from November 25th 1996 to January 12th 2017. We're now on permanent vacation. However, our HQ Jukebox lives on, with moonthly music recommendations.
