It’s only September and I already miss this place…

Couple of quick notes:

1) If you wanted to know, my favorite places around Amherst are High Horse, Esselon Café, and Miss Saigon!! (Fresh Side and Hillside Pizza are close runner-ups)

2) Take advantage of outdoor seating while it’s still warm. It’s wonderful and guarantees happiness (unless it’s super muggy or mosquito-y. ain’t nobody want that triple E)
