One more slice of normal

It seems like everyday we see old (and new) businesses opening back up and I get sense of relief, not because its my favorite place or even that I shop there, it's because that's the way it 'should' be.  When favorite places do open up or get back to normal business, it makes it even that much sweeter.  Well I had an almost unfair double dose of sweetness last week.

Murphy's Irish pub (22nd St between Mechanic & Strand) opened up over a month ago.  I should know because my wife, myself, Will, and Zack were waiting by the front door when they unlocked the place.  It was great!  We drank and played cards and dominos, after the juke box was installed (a subpar one by the way) we listened to some favorite tunes. 

Well to those of you who know our group of "Foam" regulars, I don't need to tell you that there are two very important pieces to the experience at said bar that, until this week, have been missing.

The foosball table was installed on Wednesday at about 5:00 pm.  Because of a prior commitment (a poker game), I didn't get to grip the handles until about 10 that night.  But boy was it worth the wait.  I have not been witness to a machine that is its superior.

The pizza at Foam (Murphy's), especially the white pizza, is by far the best pizza on the island. I would put it up against any that i've ever had and i'm sure it would win.  If you've never had it, I implore you to try it.  After officially opening their kitchen on Friday night, we went in to enjoy that wonderful taste yet again on Saturday night.

So, now that my stomping ground is all but complete (the downstairs still isn't open but all the fun happens upstairs anyway!), maybe you can let me know what you're looking forward to coming back.  Whether its Ice Cream at LaKings, Chess @ Saengerfest Park, or maybe something few people know about.  Let us in on the good stuff.
