Impressively, with all that has been going on (pandemic, threats to democracy), brave souls are opening new restaurants.

Geoff the Ditch Cat liked it.

So this is a little art project I call "99 masks" of masks I photographed in situ while picking up litter during my daily strolls.

Call it what you will (covid fatigue?), but we finally ventured out and ate at a restaurant for the first time since March...

All in all, Kinda Tropical has created something kinda special, the non-pretentious lo-fi/hi-fi combo that we love so much.

I can't say that I've ever woken up and said to myself "I'm gettin' a chicken salad sammich today!"

Fresa's follows all the state and local rules with mask-wearing and social distancing and, with ample outdoor space, is a glorious place to eat.

One of the worst kept secrets in town is that you can order off-menu biscuits at Olamaie, and, oh my, are they delicious. Soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside, and richer than your cousin who bought Tesla at $100.

"Mad Jack," I said as I reached the head of the line, "I owe you an apology."

For good timing, you sure can’t beat Kitchen United. A pre-covid concept, Kitchen United leases space to ghost kitchens, professional kitchens that only do pick-up and delivery.
