Can You Recommend A Good Café?

Along with the server move, titles and guidelines have changed.
The latest name for the "Asterisk* Café" is "Discuss Anything Astronomy Related" with "Asterisk Café" as a subtitle.
I would miss contributors' fond references to the "Café" if the word slips from the title.
I googled "Astronomy Café", and it looks like someone is already using it.
I would like to see a snazzy title (something easy to say and refer to) and maybe a short descriptive subtitle.
TPTB might be open to suggestions at this time, so I suggest you all get creative and report back.

How about Asterisk Cafe w/ Discuss Anything Astronomy Related as a subtitle.

Sounds very familiar. I like it. Maybe I'm misreading the tea leaves, but the swapping of the titles gave me the impression somebody is looking to get away from "Asterisk".

It does seem like a good idea though.
(How does the new post notifier work?[to the left of the topic])

A* Café
or
Sgr A* Café
or
Sagittarius A* Café
(maintains the asterisk)
(is appropriate to the subject matter)
(assumes its rightful place in the center of the galaxy)
A* Café is also sufficiently ambiguous to stand for Astronomy as well as maintaining the asterisk and paying homage to the mysteries of black holes.
The comparison of this forum to a black hole refers only to positive connotations.

Are you sure?
I vote for A* Café, Sgr A has an unlikely connection to the
Smoking Gun Research Agency (SGRA).

Does this present an opportunity to perpetrate a deception on new members? Profile questions on the membership form could misdirect those who would be happier elsewhere.

Since the "Discuss" link comes from there, how about APOD Cafe?

I saw a nice cafe the other day in a Van Gogh painting, outdoor tables beneath a tarpaulin overhang .. swirling galaxies in the sky .. just a nice spot for a coffee, beer or wine.
