    A quarter of an hour until the good local pizza shop opens. Chewing nails down to the elbow in anticipation. And they’re doing a two for $20 deal right now.

        Plain Jane’s in Miller St. Not quite as cutting edge as it used to be, but does a solid quality trad pizza ideal for Sat night in front of the fire. The other much more upmarket pizza place in Miller St is more for large groups - they only do one size and are much more exxy and have fashionably minimal toppings. Both the fush & chup shops in Miller St are good too. The pub does a decent feed too as well as live music (various). Spoiled for choice really, but I am craving a nice capricciosa avec anchovies tonight.

          Oh yeah Plain Janes is pretty good. I used to LOVE Enzo’s but the new owners took over and it went to shit.

          When you say pub, do you mean the Merri? I haven’t been since it was vegan. What’s the food like these days (nb. I’m not vegan)? Is the music out the back still?

            Music is still out the back. No, it’s no longer vegetarian - they have outsourced the food to another mob that actually does meat too. Tho vegetarian is still available and gluten free too. Quite a nice pub now. Saw a stretch limo arrive outside while I was waiting for my pizza, and disgorged a largish group who promptly went upstairs to the function room. Music tonight was vaguely blueish, with a harmonica that should have been confiscated at an early age. For not being up to at least Dan O’Connell standards.
