The Standard Downtown cracks me up sometimes. That’s a sign I saw on the way to the rooftop bar –
which I still contend is the best place to read a book early afternoon, while nibbling on an organic salad and sipping a glass of wine.
I also always get the hummus plate there, but I have to say it’s just not the tastiest of hummus plates. We’re talking rather dry pieces of store-bought pita bread with a big blob of what seems like store-bought hummus. The toasty yumminess at Bodega Wine Bar‘s much better –
But Bodega’s not on a sunny rooftop….
*Raised eyebrow* How old is the average person at The Standard Downtown that they’re attributing Communism to them? I keed; that’s a funny sign. Is all store-bought hummus created equally? Do a blind taste test! Even a supermarket that makes its own hummus daily may not be able to compete with a really good restaurant’s hummus if their stock isn’t as fresh (or they don’t make it toasty :)).
