SIDES AT THE SECOND STREET CAFE

Hepcat and I had a nice dinner after OSFO’s parent-teacher conference last night at the Second Street Cafe on Seventh Avenue and 2nd Street.

The well-run restaurant is owned by two locals with lots of experience in the restaurant business.

We haven’t had dinner in there in ages. We’ve been there for breakfast and lunch but not dinner. Seems that there’s a new menu (about a year old) with lots of choices.

For dinner, they offer an extensive menu of sandwiches, entrees, green market entrees and specials. They also have a deal where you can order four interesting side/appetizer type dishes for $12.00.

That’s what I had. It was so fun to order. I had Chicken Satay, Crab Cakes, Brussel Sprouts and Mashed Potatoes.

It arrived on a large, white rectangular plate and was beautifully presented. Almost like a sushi platter but with Second Street comfort food.

Hepcat had venison with delicious potatoes and turnips, which he enjoyed.

The Second Street has an extensive wine list.
