Full disclosure, I’m writing these blogs a bit out of chronological order. I don’t really know why, but the first restaurant that Jackson and I go to together is not The Frogmore, nor is it Captain Nemo’s, but I want to post the blogs in street order. In reality, the first place Jackson and I…
Captain Nemo’s: If You’re Expecting Seafood, You’re Wrong
Jules Verne, the 19th century author of classic science fiction greats such as Around the World in 80 Days and Journey to the Center of the Earth, also gave us Captain Nemo: the brilliant and tormented captain of the Nautilus, a submarine written into the pages of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea before submarines were even…
The Frogmore: No They Don’t Serve Frog Legs
Hi. Remember me? I know it’s been a while. Just over 4 years in fact. It’s always awkward breaking the ice again after it’s been so long. Like those times when you keep meaning to text back your friend from high school, and you swear you’re gonna do it tomorrow, but you’ve said that for…
Detour: Florence Part II — The Eating
Exhausted, hungry, and more than a little crabby, my mom, dad, younger brother, and I disembark from the 23 bus at the Stazione Pensilina and walk into Florence. But it’s late. In the daytime, there are rather more than a few vendors, selling all sorts of items, in particular goods made from Tuscan leather. I…
Detour: Florence Part I – The Entering
My family went on a trip to Italy. On this trip, we went all over the place, starting in the Italian Alps, then heading over to the Mediterranean, stopping in Umbria for a few days, hitting Rome and Venice and Verona, and finally flying out of Milan. It was a good trip, but a busy…
Chimi Some Love: Alex’s Chimis
My next stop on Centre Street is Alex’s Chimis. It looks like a pretty decent establishment, what with having TVs as the menu boards and all. Plus, they seem to attract a pretty steady stream of customers. Every time I walk past, there is a relatively sizable group of people waiting to order. Now, this…
I’m alive…just busy
Hey everyone, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a while. This month has been very busy. I have visited a couple more places on Centre Street, just haven’t had time to post yet. I’m headed to Italy for two weeks, so I won’t be able to post for a bit longer, but rest assured I’ll…
The Old Havana: Probably better than the new one
The Old Havana Cuban Restaurant is something of an enigma from start to finish. First off, the outside just does not give any indication of what the restaurant will be like. Most restaurants on Centre street, in fact all of the ones I have been to so far, have had large windows that give you…
Detour: Papa Vito’s
Believe it or not, I really am trying to be better at posting regularly. But what can I say? Life is busy. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I come from the St. Louis area. Technically I’m from southern Illinois, but it’s right on the other side of the Mississippi from St….
