There’s not a top spot I want to try on any given Friday night—there are four or five top spots I want to try. A few Saturdays ago, Cori Sue deftly arranged a stellar GNO, beginning with dinner at the new B Too, followed by drinks at the also-new Black Whiskey, then the continuation of our bar-hopping all the way up 14th Street. Dinner that night was fun because we had a fabulous group of ladies holding court around a table in the middle of the new Belgian restaurant.

Let’s take a closer look. Subway definitely keeps it fresh and I figured out how. Three sandwiches on this menu, along with several other menu items not listed, are comprised of processed meats and filled with nitrates and forms of MSG. Last weekend, I broke this streak and went into a Subway in search of real food. P.S.
