CHARLOTTETOWN’S MOST POPULAR

I feel so spinny today! I’ve been holed up with Australia all weekend, try- ing to get ready for a pre sentation (read pre with a long e - very chic) for political science; if you notice a curiously flat accent in my speech, that’s where it came from — I figure it adds a certain credibility to the endeavour.

This is' the first week I haven’t entered the Gem of- fice with a concrete topic in mind. Guess I left my cement overshoes in the harbour Saturday night.

I was thinking about this job the other day. Naturally my thoughts turned to Star Trek.

I bet I just lost some of you, ha - hal The real story is: we had a contest at the A.R,C.U.P. conference over Remembrance weekend to name my carlboat. USS. Enterprise was the winning entry, good for an egg Mc- muffin * at McDonald’s; however, the prize was not claimed, probably because our editor forgot to pre- sent it.

In future, if the occasion calls for formality, you may call me Captain, ok?

Really though, I’ve had more ideas tossed at me this week than any other week in recorded history. My edi- tor’s just been reading vor- aciously over my shoulder (that’s a big word like mar- malade), and she tells me I haven‘t said anything yet, I’ve just been brothing at the mouth.

Here’s :1 hot flash for you — well, not so hot for this time of year, seeing as how our heating system is still in the throes of meno- pause — BALD IS IN THIS YEAR!!! That should get me in good with some of my profs.

SPOTS BY Lori Anne Heckbert

At this point I shoulk like to thank Gary Webster, who is incidentally one of my professors, for referring me to Off Broadway Cafe. I should, and ‘I do, so I shall. Follow me closely now. it may prove a comfort.

this is a restaurant re- view! That ought to be clear to everyone.

Off Broadway is a de- lightful place on Sydney Street. Just follow the green spires of Saint Dunstan’s Basilica and eventually you will arrive in the street in question. _

l neglected to pick up menus from this delightful place, so everything that follows is the God’s truth. -I can’t tell you about the- lunch menu because I ate supper there, not lunch. I believe it‘ would be safe to deduce that it would re- semble fairly closely the dinner menu.

Now I thank Marshagfor taking me dut to supper, even though I did deserve it, having saved her much hassle and labour in Prince Ed- ward Island’s best stocked library.

We did a_ funny thing last Thursday. We decided to split everything except the bill right down the mid- dle. So, Marsha had one mushroom and pastrami crepe, and I had the other; we shared two Caesar’s sal- ads; — l quess that means we each had a salad — we each had a half glass of delicious white wine (I be- lieve it was Kressman); we shared the first cup of cof- fee, after which the cup was bottomless, thank God; and we split the orange blossom crepe we had for dessert.

Boy was that orange blos- something good! I had nuts and yummy sauce, and. . .

well, I still have bruise marks where I kept pinching myself to see if I’d finally hit trans— warp drive and gone. to heaven.

Our waiter, Bruce (by the way, that’s a big plus about the place, waiters are gen- erally more courteous, I find —what are your thoughts?) was really wonderful through the entire meal; a good sense of humor about him to be sure.

Maintenant, la piece de

resistance! Shame, this type— _

writer has no accent keys. THAT’S NOT IT, you silly goose!

When it came time to leave, we of course did the done thing and left a tip, but with a difference: I took Marsha’s two dollar bill, and I took Marsha’s one doi- lar bill, and instead of run- ning withthem, I ripped the two bills halfway through and slid them together — it looked really neat, but don’t do it in the presence of a cop, it is defacing the dollar, good for some pretty hefty fines and jail terms.

Aside from the fantastic food and even better ser- vice, there was something else appealing about the place, aside even from the wonderfully reasonable pric- es— the place has booths, not chairs. I do so hate chairs, I guess you’ve fig- ured that out by now. The

only nice chairs in Charlotte- .

town are at Pat’s.

The decor is very restrain- ed, lost of beautiful wood panelling that looked like knotty pine to me.

Another great place to eat in Charlottetown, as brought to you by your life- styles reporter.

See you next week for the last column of nineteen eighty four. Take care!

3. Put all ,your money in the savings account. At the beginning of each month transfer to your chequing ac- count only enough money to cover your expenses for the month; and leave your savings alone. Try to make weekly adjustments in your spending to balance your allowance for the month.
