This weekend I had planned my entire Saturday afternoon/night around going out to dinner somewhere downtown so I could write a little restaurant review. My friends and I decided on Noodles, mostly based off convenience as it is one of the closer restaurants in Northampton. I was super excited about taking some awesome pictures of my food (inspired by the many enticing photos I saw in last weeks posts).
But here's the thing: I was so hungry when I finally got to dinner that I devoured all my food in minutes, not once stopping to think about the Tipsy Old Mona Lisa. In fact I didn't even think about my failure to whip out my iPhone to snap some pictures until this morning.
My relationship with food constantly changes from day to day, sometimes even within the same day. I can say with confidence that at that exact moment, I needed food for fuel, and I needed it fast.
Noodles itself is not my favorite place in Northampton, but it did the job. I do enjoy their extensive menu, with many options for different dietary demands. It's not too pricy, and the food comes out in almost no time in giant colorful bowls. Perfect for when you happen to be ravenous.
But oh well. No food porn in this post. I will throw in this picture I grabbed on Google. Maybe next time I will be able to keep my stomach from taking control of my brain.
Noodles is one of my Northampton favorites. So many options, and with a growling stomach, so little time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great title! I've never been to Noodles but your descriptions of the big bowls and multitude of options is making me feel like I need to go...RIGHT NOW
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Noodles! I've always been turned off by the faux-food they have baking in their window, year round, that I never took them seriously as a establishment. I may be reconsidering now after having read your post... but if it isn't your favorite joint in Northampton, which is?
ReplyDeleteI have yet to eat there, so sad. Maybe this blog will spark my interest yet again and I will take the time to search for a parking place to get a bowl.
ReplyDeleteI went to Noodles once last semester and really enjoyed reading its menu. So many options!
ReplyDeleteI have walked by Noodles countless times, but have never though to go in. I'll now have to try it. What's you favorite noodle bowl?
ReplyDeleteNoodles was the first place I ate at Northampton when I was moving in. I haven't been there since, but maybe this post (or just writing for a food blog) will encourage me to go out to eat more!
