Located in Downtown Manhattan, Vecchio's has been an institution for a long time. Knowing how to make proper coffee, and a tiramisu, made this place a favorite among Italian-Americans, but these days everyone comes to the place.

So too does the Kindred, in the evening, when the place dies down a bit, in the back room of the cafe, the undead meet. The staff at Vecchio's knows not to walk into this particular room during the night. The place is always cleaned out during the day by Susan, a woman who seems to have worked at Vecchio's forever.

The truth of course is that Susan is a ghoul, and actually runs Vecchio's in secret. Susan's real name is long forgotten, as is Vecchio's origins. The back room is a safe place to meet in a friendly atmosphere. Vecchio's claims to be truly neutral ground.
