brunch: hillside farmacy

hillside farmacy is a restaurant + specialty grocery store located in an old drugstore building beautifully restored using original pharmacy cabinetry {also seen on this post} . located deep on the east side, it is one of my favorite places for a long leisurely lunch/happy hour {don't ever expect for your experience here to be quick}. some of my favorites on the menu include the fried egg sandwich and the fountain sodas "with booze". and if there is a long wait for a table – wander over to quickie pickie, take heart or olive vintage down the street. bon appetit!

clark's.

clark's is really just the best. i love it so dang much. 

it's very rare that when walking home from work {on a nice day} those two little blue seats you see below aren't filled with people laughing and drinking wine and eating oysters. i want to be those people!! so i took it as a sign, snagged the seats, and texted my friend hb. luckily she wanted to hang out. we had a lovely time enjoying the warm spring weather, which made me realize i need to do happy hour more often. and also try to get there before actual happy hour is over, because half off wine would be cool.
