Lyn’s

Lyn's

Lyn’s is one of my favorite carts, for a number of reasons including the diversity of the items they make, the quality of the items, the portion, the price and more. I was ready for some breakfast at around 11:00 so I decided to make a stop at Lyn’s. Most carts only make eggs as omelette’s, but Lyn’s will cook the eggs however you’d like so I placed my order of “Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Short Roll with Sunny-Side Eggs, Not-Well-Done, with Salt, Pepper, and a little bit of Hot Sauce (Sriracha)”. Yeah, a mouthful, but worth it. Continue reading →

Pita Joe

Had a Purple Joe (Eggplant & Egg Sandwich) at Pita Joe for dinner. It was delicious but I was a little surprised by the price. $6.88 for a pita sandwich is definitely on the high end. I guess it wouldn’t have been so expensive if I had noticed that they were offering a 20% off student discount (which I didn’t know about ’til I was finished). The tahini and hot sauce shined though! I think I’d return here to try other dishes.
