Fri Aug 29 17:26:38 -0700 2008 63444 groover808 1 3997957 I live 5 blocks away - I don't recommend it at night - I guess you could get a good sausage for lunch - the quality has gone down as the crowds have increased. Maybe others are more enthusiastic. Fri Aug 29 20:40:14 -0700 2008 3997672 14341 OCEllen 1 3998051 I just got back. What a pain in the ass. Still, there's aebleskiver which aren't bad (Denmark tent) but I think the winner so far is the galaktoboureko from the Greek pastry tent -- deeeeeeeeeelicious.

Everything was just ok, but I agree - fish and chips were yummy. It was dinner time so waited about 5-10 min, but that meant I had piping hot fish. Definitely the highlight of my evening. Now if it wasn't so darn crowded..... Sat Aug 30 23:55:58 -0700 2008 3999083 63444 groover808
