On Wednesdays (formerly Thursdays) I usually go have drinks with my NYU crew, so I’m in that neck of the woods pretty frequently. I noticed a while back that one of the storefronts on Broadway near Astor - I think it used to be a Sunglass Hut - has become a Beard Papa. In fact, it looks like it’s been there since September.

Anyway, the gist of all this is that I hadn’t yet tried a Beard Papa pipin’ hot cream puff, because it has never seemed like the kind of thing one should eat before drinking, and usually by the time I’m done drinking, I have forgotten entirely about cream puffs and am just looking for the nearest cab. But last night I left on the early side, since I had to get up early this morning and pack for my trip to Massachusetts. Since I wasn’t even a little drunk when I left (okay, maybe a little), I wandered into Beard Papa and wandered out with a box of cream puffs, which Chris and I (mostly I) devoured when I got home. Delicious!

Posting will be sketchy for the next couple days, as I’m heading to Massachusetts tonight and my grandfather’s memorial service is tomorrow. My parents have cable, of course, but generally when I’m at their place I like to take a little break from all of the Internets. We’ll see.
