Ice Tea

There is nothing more refreshing than ice tea. Michelangelo's does a superb job with this - they serve jasmine tea iced. Delightful. Thirst quenching. Full of antioxidents.

CowParade

The CowParade is so much fun - I love wandering around during my lunch hours checking out the various downtown cows. The half and half cow is clever! My favorite so far is the mirrored cow on the square, but the chocolate milk cow is a very close second. The bumper cow is hugely popular with the kids. Nothing beats a yellow plastic steering wheel.

Fat Elvis

In honor of our recent trip to Graceland, I have to address the incomparable Fat Elvis ice cream at the Chocolate Shoppe. It is amazing - banana ice cream with creamy chunks of peanut butter and bitter sweet chocolate. A perfect mix. Not quite the same as a peanut butter and banana sandwich on white bread fried in a stick of butter, but a pleasing alternative.

Library Mall

Library mall is one of the best restaurants in town. It is so fun to wander down there at noon, where all of the studnets are playing frisby and laying on the grass (as opposed to the drunks laying on the sidewalk up near my neck of the woods) and sample the many food carts. I haven't seen the greek cart lately, but Buraka is there, as well as a jamaican cart, sushi, thai, chinese, soul food and more. Mr. Loose Juice is also back. Hey, Carl, when are you opening the Rye back up? We are still waiting!
