“After the tragic events of 9/11, I decided to leavemy job as anAmerican diplomat and open
Rick’s Café to bring the legendary gin joint of the film
Casablanca
to life.When people come
here, they leave the real Casablanca behind and enjoy the nostalgic ambience of a bygone
era.The film’s themes resonatewithmodern audiences just as they did in 1942.”
Kathy is the founder of restaurant-bar Rick’s Café (rickscafe.ma). The 1942 film
Casablanca
is on re-release in the UK this month
