This weekend John and I started training for an upcoming bike trip through coastal Maine. In Saturday's soaking drizzle, we trekked about 9 miles in each direction to what's considered by some to be our neighborhood's mirror image to the south: Bridgeport. This is where the Daleys grew up, and as a result, it's seen some significant reinvestment in recent years, most notably the renovation, then subsequent renovation, of what is now US Cellular Field (no, nothing is sacred--especially not America's pasttime).
Other Bridgeport draws are the Mies van der Rohe-designed campus of IIT, a heaping plate of lamb with cumin at Ed's Potsticker House, and the ironically (though perhaps not intentionally) dubbed Healthy Food Lithuanian, pictured below, where I had exceptional homemade Lithuanian sausage with generous sides of sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. These dishes, as well as John's zaftig potato pancakes, were cheerfully delivered by our vegan Lithuanian waitress.
