Eating Out

I've mentioned eating in the Home Ec room with the 3 course and 7 course meals, but I'd like to tell you a little bit about the times we go out to eat. A lot of the time we just walk out to the Court Ave area and eat at a couple of our favorite restaurants. Often there are just two or three of us going, and occasionally a half dozen of the students go. The two favorite places seem to be The Royal Mile and Fong's Pizza. The Royal Mile is a bar/restaurant with a very good fish and chips meal. The price is right. You can get two big pieces of battered up fish and thick french fries for about six bucks. Another place just about across the street is Fong's Pizza. It used to be a Chinese restaurant for many years, and then it changed with the times to be a pizza place. The pizzas are excellent with a variety of styles and toppings. The atmosphere at Fong's is friendly and they have vintage rock and roll playing in the background.

Occasionally we'll head out of the neighborhood by bus or in cabs to visit a couple of other favorites. One of my favorites is the La Hacienda restaurant, where I went for my first solo travel trip. The Mexican food there is excellent, the service is the best I've ever seen, and the prices there are very, very reasonable. The trips we take in the bus to the different restaurants are always fun because we get to sit and talk and laugh and tell jokes. In the future I hope to write about some new restaurants we visit and the adventures that go with them. More later.
