Saluton [sa. ‘lu.ton]. That means ‘hello’ in Esperanto – a language first constructed in the 1880s by Polish eye doctor L.L.Zamenhof. His goal was to create a neutral, international, second language for people to communicate in. Whoever wrote the Esperanto entry on Wikipedia gives an extremely precise figure on the number of fluent speakers worldwide: somewhere between 100,000 and 2 million. Regardless of such pinpoint reporting, the only reason I mention Esperanto at all is because I took this photo yesterday at the Esperanto Café on MacDougal St. at Carmine in Greenwich Village. I don’t know if they speak Esperanto at the cafe, but I do know they serve up potent hits of espresso, are open 24 hours a day and play an eclectic mix of good music.
