There’s an old Seinfeld bit where he talks about the constant struggle between Morning Guy and Night Guy. The latter is always screwing over the former. And well dear readers, that’s exactly what happened to me. Ouch.

After somehow making it through my morning meetings, I knew I needed something healthy for lunch to combat this war commencing in my body. Fortunately, only a few blocks away was a mostly vegan spot called Longevity F*ckin Good Food. It was located in a shaded part of the street but I opted for the more comfortable banquette seating inside.

I started off with their highly rated mushroom puff pastries with vegan cheese. While normally not a fan of vegan cheese, this worked surprisingly well, and there’s no way one could tell it’s not real cheese. My body said gracias.

Next up was the real reason I was here – potato and leek soup with roasted beetroot. I was surprised of the lack of flavor on the first sip but then realized I had to stir it up a bit to get the true taste. That worked and the soup opened up with the crunch beetroot adding some needed texture to the smooth blend. Excellent.

After I got back to my place and had a quick call with my dad (hola papa!) the tide had quickly turned. I was down for the count. There would be no Friday night fun. I didn’t even bother eating anything and crashed at 10pm. So instead, enjoy this collage of my various wanderings. Hasta pronto.
