after school snacks make the day better
the place: herrells, 155 brighton ave, allston
the date: tuesday 03.17.09
the plan: coffee and a snack/early dinner
obviously I can’t write about every coffee I buy in the city because then this blog would need to be updated about six times a day and would be not only dull, but too much work. but. I also ate at herrells and I find that people are occasionally surprised to hear how good the food is. so, along with our medium hot and large iced coffees (spring-like weather continues!), we decided to get some sandwiches.
j had the tijuana waitress, which if I recall correctly was some awesome blend of hot sauce and bacon and some sort of veggie thing. it looked good and he looked happy and let me steal some bacon, which is really the way to my heart. I had my very favorite sandwich in the world— the monkey love. peanut butter and banana on grilled white bread. it comes with either marshmallow or strawberries and I prefer neither, but they messed up and gave me marshmallow and it didn’t really negatively affect my experience. it’s just a little sweeter that way and, as j pointed out, it downplays the banana flavor— for him a plus, for me not so much. still, the sandwich made me happy in the way that any food that makes me feel like a five-year-old having an after-school snack always does. and there’s nothing bad about that.
