We had the last day of vacation blues, and the stale pistachio croissant from Tatte didn't help. At least my sesame burek was good. We planned a fancy lunch at Saltie Girl, but I just wasn't feeling it...the oysters were good, and my tiny expensive plate of hamachi crudo was a delightful few bites, but my clam chowder was too rich and creamy and also not served hot enough. Jessica had a bagel with smoked salmon and all the accompaniments. Sitting at the raw bar was somewhat interesting if not overly comfortable. We stopped and grabbed cookies from Levain on the walk home, just to see what all the fuss is about. They have a very interesting texture and I didn't hate it by any means. but I prefer a thinner, crispier cooking.
Then onto the bus to head home. Jason picked me up in Springfield and we hit up a pizza place in Ludlow that I was eager to try. Casa Pizzeria features about five styles of pizza, including New Haven, Neapolitan, Detroit, New York and granny. We opted for a New York style plain cheese (our tradition for trying a new place) and I thought it was great. Really tasted like a New York slice. My only minor quibble was that the crust could have used a touch more salt. Another bonus: it reheated really well the next day. I would love to go back and try another variety someday.
