You know how it is when you show up for a late breakfast, run into old friends, neighbors, or family, and end up chatting it up over old times? That’s how breakfast at Millcreek Cafe and Eggworks feels. After slipping ourcar into a narrow spot in a crowded parking lot (interesting how that so often […]
Fiddler’s Elbow: Hidden in Sugar House
January 18, 2011 by
I don’t drink, but a friend recommended Fiddler’s Elbow, a pub-like restaurant hidden in Sugar House, for our lunch. It’s down a narrow drive in off of 2100 South. After parking in the back, I was soon sitting in a booth talking about politics, the media, and sandwiches. The atmosphere is set by a shadows, […]
