Long Story Short: A lovely backyard to linger in while we waited and waited and waited for service (just sayin’), a prix fixe that includes mimosa or bellini and coffee or tea with your app & an entree that costs… um…. I forgot, but it was definitely under $20.  I think.

Long Story Long:

Good lord, I forgot how much work full time jobs are.  Lately, all I have been doing is working.  I mean, I’m not complaining… I like being busy.  Actually, BFFF and I were just talking the other day about the fact that we make horrible unemployed people and how utterly depressing that is.  Oh well.  In any case, a couple weekends ago I went to Il Passatore on a glorious and warm Saturday afternoon.  I am not proud, but I have to confess that I have not been to brunch since, even having skipped it one Saturday for something work related.  As I said, I’m not proud.   So, as I sat down in a rare free moment to write this, I tried to summon the vision of that beautiful day.  You would think that the memory of it would be particularly strong.  Sweet.  Wistful and nostalgic… Yeah, no.  I got nothing.

Long Story Short: $10 entree comes with bloody mary mix or OJ, and for only $3 more they’ll throw vodka or prosecco in your drink for the first round.  Seems a bit more lunch-y to me, but they do have a couple egg dishes.

Long Story Long:

So, I had just returned from my trip to Sundance and found myself with the usual post-festival cold.  Awesome.  I really didn’t want to leave my couch, but my friends, IBS (his initials, not the condition) & his boyfriend, the… er… White Shadow (ok, seriously the last friend who gets to pick his own nickname.  If you’re curious, it comes from a 70s TV show by the same name) had just moved to the neighborhood, and so badly wanted to go out to brunch as they were having some heating problems at their new digs.  I selfishly chose Motorino because I was under the weather and it is close to my place, but as they are still exploring their new neighborhood, they were happy to oblige.  We were joined by the Filmmaker and the Falconette, a friend of his, now ours, from home in Virginia.  Side note… is it just me, or is this starting to sound like a meeting of the Justice League?  Read the rest of this entry »

Long Story Short: I’ve heard this fills the void for the sad sad loss of Motorino.  Very curious.

Long Story Short: A bit of a trek, yes (at least for me), but the food is awesome.  Though it’s a pizza place primarily, I like that they have non-pizza brunch options.
