Tuesday night Dinner

So a few things happen when most of the climbers leave after the weekend, one of them is you get more choices in the park to climb and the other thing is, the few restaurants that are open year-round shut down, with one or two exceptions. Now Backstreet Bagel is a great place for breakfast and lunch but to accommodate the lack of options on Main Street for dining, it stays open for Tuesday dinner, offering a three-course pre fixe dinner ($14 bucks includes soup, salad, and entree). The best thing is that it taste home-cooked as this is not a kitchen that typically serves up entree style meals. The locals who don't want to cook and show up, greeting each other and passing news and catching up across tables. It's a cool scene, and dinner is fantastic. Last night was cream of cauliflower soup, mixed greens with bacon, apricots, and light pepper and oil dressing, and an entree of grilled sirloin over lentil ragu. I remember from last year this place serving one of the stand out dinners we had during the week.
