Black Eyed Sally's

This weekend I ate at Black Eyed Sally's for the first time. I wish I had gone with more people so I could have sampled more. I had a Burnt Ends sandwich and sweet potato fries. It was great. The bread was the best part, actually.

This is a pretty funky place (and larger than I expected). Parking can be a bit of an issue ($7) but overall I would love to head back there.

Good News

I always enjoy going to the Good News Cafe in Woodbury. We went last night. It wasn't as spectacular as normal.

The service, room, ambiance is fantastic, although sometimes a bit slow between courses.

I had the Gemelli pasta with gorgonzola and asparagus. It was a bit strong with the cheese. Usually it is a bit lighter. I also had an excellent Thai Chicken Soup. For dessert I had a piece of Pistachio Cheesecake which was a bit smaller than I expected.

The Flash-Fired Beef seems to be the hit of the night as an appetizer.

Update

Obviously, I haven't written for awhile. Some notes:

• Ate at Kitchen Zinc in New Haven. Pizza was really good. A great room, but got crowded. The bar is really the room and people stand and crowd the tables. Staff was nice and moved us to a booth. Pretty loud. They went next door to Zinc for a chocolate dessert we wanted. Appreciated that.
• Still waiting for a really comfortable restaurant in Southbury where you can just eat and hang out. Could a funky spot survive here?
