Conference Lunch

This morning we had parent-teacher conferences at Beatrix's school. Middle school conferences are waaaaayyyy different than elementary school! We got 10 minutes with each teacher, which went by in a flash; yet at the same time that meant that we were at the school for almost two hours seeing eight teachers with a little time in between. Yikes!

They were great, though, so we took Beatrix out to lunch to celebrate. She picked Thirty-Six Cafe, which just opened on Grand (in the old Himalayan Java spot, boy was that place short-lived!)

And it was a great choice! It's very glamorous, with light pink walls and lots of pink and cream flowers, plus gold accents. And it was packed!



It's kind of a breakfast/brunch place. They are known for their pancakes, which were fluffy and custardy at the same time and delicious!



As to me, I might have finally discovered what all the fuss about avocado toast:



We did not try the coffees, which was an oversight — we'll have to go back!

Prices were reasonable — $21 for 2 toasts and the pancakes, which was plenty for the three of us for lunch.

Patrick said the whole place reminded him of a New York cafe, and I understand the comparison — small, buzzy space, small but well-crafted menu, good people watching. I'm excited to go often to our own little slice of Manhattan!
