| people watching at its finest |
In true Sam and Sandy fashion, we arrived at our next stop - His & Hers - to find it closed. To be fair, the hours posted on their window, Yelp, and Google all claimed they were open, so this one wasn't really our fault. And I just read they were denied a permit to stay open during the DNC, so they aren't closed permanently. Alas, since many people expressed interest in Me 'N Mo's, we decided to enjoy some patio dining at Bridget Foy's.
Being the middle of summer, it was incredibly hot, so sitting on the chairs was a little uncomfortable since I tend to sweat quite a bit, and my legs were slipping and sliding all over the place. Such is life. The people watching was great though, as was the Pokemon catching. The highlight for me was watching a dude on the tiniest motorized bike I have ever seen zip by down the road.

| eggs florentine |
We decided to order a pitcher of mimosas for Sunday brunch (so basic, I know), which was a great deal. It was $30 and I think we each refilled our glasses at least 3 times. Definitely worth the price, as they were good quality mimosas too (in the sense that they weren't watered down or anything). They had some appetizing brunch items on the menu, like red velvet donuts and a delicious sounding chocolate-infused french toast, but I am almost never in the mood for sweet brunch any more. I'm all about the savory. So I went with the eggs florentine. It was a good choice - the eggs were perfectly poached, the sauce was creamy without being too heavy, and the salmon tasted fresh and not too fishy. There was a lack of spinach for my liking though, I would have wanted a little bit more in the dish. But I'm a big fan of spinach so I may be biased. The side of home fries were nice and crispy. But I wouldn't say there was anything that set the meal above and beyond other brunch places. It was fulfilling, but not out-of-this-world. Plus, we got a side of fries that cost $5 and there weren't that many fries in the basket. A little disappointing.
All in all, I think Bridget Foy's is a great place for a standard brunch. You'll get reliable food and the $30 mimosa pitcher is definitely worth it. Try and get a seat outside to enjoy the people watching, but maybe opt for a late spring or early fall day, unless you like sticking/sliding around your chair.
