Thanks. Which one do you like best for lunch?

Do you want to sit inside or outside?

ETA: Scratch that. The reality is that I went to those restaurants as soon as shite opened back up because they are among my favorites in the city (but are by no means an exclusive list; I've only had so many meals

). Just google them and look at their menus.

I went to Bldg5 and had not been there before and it was delicious. Really enjoyed it as did Mrs Pimp and the youngest Pimpette.

Genuinely glad to hear it

In case you are curious, counter ordering is their norm during the day. They switch to table service for dinner (at least normally; I haven’t been for dinner since COVID).

How is Sammys now with Stabiler running it ? Like the glory days ? The old menu?

The menu is still limited but they have a few favorites. I just had fried seafood and it was decent. About on par when Sammy's was managed well.

Just got takeout from BRQ. Tables of people inside and out, as well as folks dining at the bar. Other than the staff wearing masks, it was mainly normal. Felt good... if I didn’t have to bring food back home to the wife, I would’ve asked to be seated.
