    Grand River 上的露天餐廳 Peanut Barrel

    相較於ANN ARBOR的小城市浪漫與怡然自得,EAST LANSING顯得規矩多了。一條GRAND RIVER就這樣貫穿城市與校園的交界,任憑EAST LANSING的DOWNTOWN和MSU的校園自行發展,淨渭分明。於是乎鬧區也就是長長的一條,沒有縱深,想要發展起來不若ANN ARBOR校園分散在城市裡來的容易。另外,MSU的校園實在是太大了﹝全美前五大﹞,所以也不像印第安那大學那樣小小的校園包在迷人的 BLOOMINGTON裡面,鬧區也很容易環繞著校園成長。

    在這樣的兩難下,EAST LANSING的鬧區實在單薄。要逛街也是可以,可是就僅只與GRAND RIVER這條街的北岸,想要有到處的露天PATIO可能還要等個幾年才能發展的起來。唯一的例外,就在學校BERKEY HALL對面有一間餐廳叫做PEANUT BARREL

    第一次到PEANUT BARREL只是覺得名字很好聽的餐廳,那次是第一年來的學期末,時值初冬,零度上下的天氣使的路上行人匆匆,根本沒有露天的雅致。不過一群MA的學生進到裡面,點了一個PITCHER的啤酒才兩塊多。滿地的花生殼,這是店名由來。花生可是免費的,隨地亂丟的灑脫可是沒有別的地方有的!至於食物呢,就是一般的美國食物啦,可是價錢不貴,也還蠻有水準的,推薦他的TUNA MELT、MUSHROOM BURGER和BORDER BURGER。

    到了夏天,露天的座位可是搶手,通常都要排隊幾十分鐘才有的,就像照片中的那群人一樣。

    不過花個幾分鐘,換到大城市的雅痞風味,倒也是這鄉下地方偶而有的奢侈吧。

    Have you been to ECTC? Well, we wanted to ask you guys out and check out the place, but the review for this restaurant is really .............
    However, the decor is nice. It looks like you are sitting in an outdoor bistro in a Chicago night. (Even it's indoor, they put on sky with star lights and street sight, etc.) If some day you and Betty want a romantic dinner but don't care about the food quality, it's a good place to go.
    Their special cookies in the take out shop are good. (I love Russian tea biscuit).

    露曦過獎了

    我的形容詞已經亂七八糟的
    若不是剛剛貝蒂潤過稿
    我想會很糟糕的

    倒是感動我自己也有
    畢竟是生活了快七年的地方
    想要位這裏留下點美好的回憶
    順便預告一下
    有空我會介紹這裡最最好喝的咖啡店喔
    ﹝不是BEANERS喔!﹞
