On Twofer Tuesday we have a Multiple Monday

I did something yesterday that I've done many, many times before.  But for the first time ever, I did it twice in one day.

Who knew that would be so much fun?

I ate at the Lansdale Tavern twice in one day.



Now I didn't plan on doing that.  It just happened.  I knew I was going to have lunch there.  Some former clients and now good friends wanted to meet and talk about business.  And the Lansdale Tavern is a great place for that.  Great lunch food and a relaxed atmosphere.  We sat for hours, and never felt pressured to leave.

Lansdale Shopping Score:  1

• Best Burger
• Best Wings
• Best Bartender - Jim

Later in the day, I knew I had an Economic Development Committee meeting at borough hall.  It's always the third Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m.

Until it isn't.

I thought something might be up as I pulled into the parking lot.  First off, I was the only car there.  Second, the building was dark.

Presidents Day!  That's right.  The borough offices were closed because of Presidents Day.  And the Economic Development Committee meeting will take place next Monday at 6:30 p.m.  Hope to see you there.

So what to do with my new free evening.  Dinner.

So I called Ken and asked where he wanted to go.  But used the accumulating snow that was on the roads to convince him to stay in the borough.  His choice of venue?  The Lansdale Tavern.

Now that didn't bother me at all.  The menu there is varied enough that I can eat something completely different for lunch and dinner.

Lansdale Shopping Score:  2

But as you may have noticed.  We've had some repeats on of Lansdale dining choices.  And three-peats, and four-peats.  Partially because we are creatures of habit.  But also because there are not a ton of moderately priced sit-down restaurants in town.

Now we have a lot of favorite places to eat in the areas around Lansdale.  I'm sure you do, too.  Places to get a good dinner at a fair price.  Meatloaf.  Sirloin steak.  Stuffed flounder.  Chicken croquettes.

Some of our go-to places:

• Pumpernick's on Rt 309 in Montgomeryville.
• Zoto's on Rt. 309 in Hatfield.
• The American Star Diner on Welsh Road in Montgomery Township

You know - classic American fare.  Not a chain restaurant.  Not a budget breaker.

And how I wish a full-menued American-style restaurant would come to our borough.

I'm going to call this my Chicken Croquette Quest.  Where can I find one of my favorite meals, and a staple of Americana cuisine, in Lansdale?  The Chicken Croquette.

Stay tuned!

So, today’s score:

TWO opportunities to shop/eat in Lansdale met.
