The Village Virgin

In honor of The Rocky Mountain Showdown today, I thought I would dedicate a blog post to Boulder, CO. A long night of partying after a game day only leads to one thing...a bunch of hungover undergrads at The Village the following morning. 

Walking down the sidewalk to campus, sitting in class, even out at the bars at night...people were shooting me these looks. Looks of disgust, looks of disappointment, looks of discouragement. The rumor must have been out. Everyone knew I was a virgin...

A VILLAGE VIRGIN! A second semester senior in college, 22 years old, and I had never been to The Village. The employees here make sure to embarrass the hell out of you, silencing the diner, and shouting out to everyone that, "there is a virgin in the house!" Of course my friends did not spare me... they told our waitress the I'd never had been and soon enough all eyes were on me.

Blueberry Pancake

No, the food isn't out of this world and you're not going to be dying to go back the next day for round 2, but The Village is the perfect place to go to soak up the leftover alcohol from the night before. Plus, you can show up looking like shit in your pajamas and nobody will care!

Reppin' NY Deli Zone Style

In most cases, when you meet anyone from the tri-state area out here in Boulder, the first subject that comes up in the conversation is food. There is an absolute disgust over the lack of genuine New York food here in Colorado. There are no real NY delis, no real NY pizza joints and no real NY bagels. It is as if they think its cute to deprive of us of our favorite foods....well it's not! Us East coasters need our daily intake of carbs! The whole organic thing tends to get old sometimes Boulder!

This brings me to tell you about Deli Zone - Famous Brooklyn Heroes. Clearly within the last 3 days of our time left here in Boulder, my friends and I discover Brooklyn Deli Zone. Why nobody filled us in on this sooner? I just do not know. Besides the fact that the name of every sandwich is themed around New York, it actually is the closest thing I have tasted here in Boulder that reminds me of the Big Apple. 

Fluffy poppy-seed kaiser roll with two fried eggs, american cheese, sausage and some perfectly cooked hash browns. Yes kids, you heard right...HASH BROWNS! 

Same good 'ol "Baby Kong" sandwich, but with some crunchy bacon. Any meat you choose to put on your sandwich does not matter, this sandwich is still a hefty beauty.
