Frick and the Square Cafe

 BURN: Last Saturday, Lindsay and I decided to start our first blog submission running Frick Park and eating at Square Cafe.  For those of you not familiar with the area, Frick Park is located in Regent Square - Edgewood/Swisswale exit of 376 E.  There are a ton of trails, allowing you to choose your own adventure.  If you park in the lower lot, the trails are mainly flat.  Park off of South Braddock Ave. by the tennis courts and you can create a hillier route.  Lindsay and I did an easy two miles this weekend.  As you can see by the pictures, it's beautiful.

BRUNCH: Oh the Square Cafe.  How I love this place!  It's good food, a great crowd and tons of options.  Get there early though if you don't like to wait.  It's even more important now since the colder weather is deterring people from sitting outside.  If you do have a wait, no worries, you can get a cup of coffee from the bar.  

Pumpkin Walnut Pancakes with Nutella/marscopone topping

Square Cafe always has specials normally a sweet option and a savory option.  This week they featured pumpkin walnut pancakes with a nutella marscapone topping for the sweet.  The pancakes were good; the topping AMAZING!  This was Lindsay's choice.  I couldn't resist my "go to" selection-Lemon Ricotta Pancakes.  Everything about this pancake is perfect. The lemon isn't overpowering.  It's enough to notice it and overall delicious.  If you don't do sweet, they have a mess of savory dishes that will knock your socks off as well.  And for those of us with a crunchy side, they get a lot of their veggies from local farmers.  They offer vegan, vegetarian and even gluten-free           options.  Check it out!
