Cosmo's on Delaware

Charlie heads to Cosmo's on Delaware every Saturday at 9:00 AM for breakfast and office work, plates of eggs and bacon steaming beside open briefcases in worn booths. He pitches it to Anthony Marcus as the first step in mentorship—neutral ground where routine meals build discipline away from streets and detention. Coffee aromas mix with morning chatter, turning the spot into a quiet anchor for troubled paths.
