I ordered one large juice at the Punchline Juice Bar, Carribbean-owned. Have walked past this place a million times, but this was my second time in. Fresh juice is kind of like a splurge for me. A medium is $7. Checked out the collection of bills they had posted from Guyana, China, Jamaica, all over. Enjoyed the reggae while waiting. Then had some extra cash so headed to Meme's Healthy Nibbles and grabbed some spicy plaintain salad and chatted with the man at the register and one of the customers. We complained about the Starbucks that just opened on Franklin and she told me she knew the owner here and she had her own dress shop two doors down. Told her I will go visit. Then took their menu so I could tell other people about it.
