#188: Smallman Street Deli - Movie Theater Snack Attack

Best Place for Matzah Ball Soup


Also while on the way to see the new Harry Potter movie, Emily and I stopped in Squirrel Hill to go to 61C Cafe. It had been some time since we last did something on the list, so any opportunity to complete a thing was welcome.

I had not eaten anything that morning, so I was in search for a movie theater snack to take with me. As we were walking to 61C Cafe I noticed Smallman Street Deli across the street and Emily remembered that it was on the list.

Livingsocial recommended a steaming bowl of matzah ball soup. Steaming and summer aren't a good combination and eating a bowl of soup in a dark, crowded theater could be difficult so I opted for a chicken salad sandwich on multigrain bread.

Though the chicken salad sandwich was just ok, I would go back there for their Sunday brunch or breakfast or to buy a six pack of Blue Moon in cans.

#192: 61C Cafe - Sunday, Study Sunday

The Best Place for a Truly Relaxing Cafe Experience

In searching for a snack to sneak into the local movie theatre while on our way to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II, Michelle and I decided to stop off at 61C Cafe on Murray Avenue in Squirrel Hill. While we didn't stay long, I did notice that there seemed to be a decent collection of homemade baked goods from which one could select to enjoy with a cup of joe. The cafe offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which proves excellent for a nice afternoon. The atmosphere was quiet and I got the impression that many of the customers who were there were regulars. It seems like a nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon reading, studying, or catching up on e-mail from friends. Oh, and the cookie was pretty good too. =)
