sure the food is waaaay overpriced, sure the decor leaves you with a slightly stale feeling everytime you pass, it is NOSTALGIC! and super funny and i love spotting them wherever i go. bonus points if there’s a moustache or beard prominently featured in their logo 🥸

Absolutely love when I go back somewhere I used to live and see that an old haunt (cafe, bar, etc) is thriving.
I lived across from 3 Little Figs in Somerville 10 years ago and it was wild to see it bustling beyond belief with a huge line out the door - and some of the same people working there and my favorite items still on the menu. Good for those guys!

I love trying new places + have a list of places I’m slowly working through. But I’m realizing that tried & true places that have been around for +10 years are still standing for a reason. You’re usually paying a little more $, sure, but you’re getting consistency & quality & ambiance (Balthy at christmas time is heavenly). Minetta Tavern is a classic. The Odeon has its own cult following that’s well worth it. I’m sure places like Don Angie’s have the potential to be there in a decade, but until that happens I’ll be happy with my old fashioneds & nice napkins.

being home in massachusetts im surrounded by these joints. the food is always average, but that's not the point. it's about the consistency, the booths, the drip coffee, the plastic cups and ceramic mugs, the vinyl tables, the yellow paper receipt, and yes, the passable food. never had a bad conversation or experience with a loved one at a greasy spoon. also a great place to eat alone and read a newspaper like a little old chap. what you order at a diner says a lot about you

There’s nothing quite like falling asleep in the sun in 30 degree weather, one of life’s greatest blessings. I love a little honk shoo to forget what I should be doing instead.

When looking up in a densely packed forest, i find there is so much beauty in the cracks where the sunlight escapes between a canopy of trees. Like maps of rivers, or veins in the arm, the space between has so much merit in its own and more, so many stories to tell. I love looking up! We should all make more of a habit of it! Wings of desire!
