September 10, 2012 Mei Mei Street Kitchen

Mei Mei Street Kitchen is always by my work, but the lines are always out of control long, that I never wait in line. The good news is that they also hang out in Cleveland Circle on Sundays for Pork Bun Sundays:) Unfortunately they didn’t have pork buns on Sunday, but they had pork belly […]

February 20, 2011 Madarin Gourmet

We stopped in to pick up some take out from Mandarin Gourmet. I am always on the hunt for great Chinese food. We peeked into the dining room, I really liked the traditional look of it. The broth of the wonton soup was flavorful-not watered down like some can be. The wontons were tasty, minus […]

January 24, 2011 The Cottage

I have driven by the Cottage many times, mainly because it’s in the same parking lot as the Roche Brothers where I sometimes go grocery shopping, and never really thought to stop in.

February 26, 2010 Depot Street Malt Shop (Vermont)

  I have been coming here for years. Depot street is a cute little 50’s style diner in town. They have booth and table seating and a ice cream bar in the back by the soda fountain. Soda fountains are a  thing of the past and people love the nostalgia of it. They have a […]

February 14, 2010 Nordstrom’s Cafe Bistro

Located on the second floor of Nordstoms is the Cafe Bistro. I think it’s a nice alternative to the regular mall fare. You walk in and order at the counter. Everything is made to order, you don’t want mayo on your sandwich-no problem! You choose a seat and the waiter brings your food over to […]
