What the Pho?!


Did you celebrate Westbank Thursday? No? We did. (Maybe you were too busy catching up on the blog-posts you'd missed, and posting your own comments. I apologize for not posting yesterday, but it was a holiday and I was observing it.) We took a lovely trip to Pho Bang (Pho Tau Bay is closed on Thursdays) on Manhattan Boulevard. It's next to this place that sells gold teeth at the bargain price of 2 for $100, that is next to this other place that is "Pho Sale." Jude and I both ordered the vermicelli noodle bowl with egg rolls, and Betsy got a small pho.

After lunch, we went to Barnes & Noble to buy copies of Walker Percey's The Moviegoer for our book club meeting this Sunday night. Then we got daiquiris at the daiquiri place.

On past Thursdays, we have eaten at Pho Tau Bay and Nine Roses, and shopped at the Asian Market and Thrift City. All recommended.

Stay tuned for our Westbank Bar Tour, during which we will have drinks at The Naughty Knight, The Roaring Twenties, and other hot spots. If you'd like to come along, do post a comment with your name and number and we'll drop you a line at the appropriate time.
